Leave Rules Of Private Company

Greetings All,
My query is regarding Leave Rules of Private company (we are involved in Manufacturing & Trading Activities)
Every Year my company gives 14 paid holidays to employees. Apart from these leaves, we have regional holidays which employees can avail accordance to their faith.
My question is
If employee want to take PL for a week & in that week one regional holiday (RH) falls...then RH can be counted in his PL or not?
For e g Please consider month of March2016
21/3- Mon
22/3 Tues
23/3 Wed
24/3 Thurs ( Holy Second day-Holiday)
25/3 Fri (Good Friday)- Regional Holiday
26/03 sat( W/ Off)
27/03 Sun (W/Off)
If employee will apply for PL from 21-03 to 25-03 then day of 25-3 RH has to be counted in PL or not.
and same will be possible in the case of CL ?

Most offices follow sandwich rule. So if a public holiday or weekly off falls in the middle of the applied leave, it is counted as leave and one leave day is lost for the employee. Sandwich applies if there is application for leave on both preceding and subsequent dates, not if its is only one of them

Refer your company's leave policies.
Some company applies prefix and suffix rule.
For example.
23rd March is Holi.-Wednesday
Mr. XYZ took leave from 21st March to 25th March
then, 23rd will be consider as a leave and count would be 5 leaves.
Considering your lines of leaves and holiday given by your company, only 3 days leave applies, as you got
holiday and weekly off.
But if you take leave on Monday that is 28th March , then the leave count would go to 8 leaves , as per prefix and suffix rules.

OK....It's depend upon company whether to implement Sandwich rule & prefix -suffix rule or not.
& It means there is no legal regulation or compulsion to have above mentioned rules.

Some of the regulations have specified that sandwich rule applies.
However, a decision of the company not to follow it, means that the company is giving terms better than that required by the rules, which definitely is allowed.
Do check the model standing orders that apply to your company. (or certified standing orders if you have them)
There may be more details lurking in it.

The provisions in CCS(Leave) Rules, 1972 (applicable to the Central Government servants) is more or less similar. The employee can prefix or suffix holidays in sandwich are counted leave.
This norm is not applicable to casual leave which considered as duty; however, other kinds of leave cannot be combined with CL.

Dear All,
My query is regarding Leave Rules of Private company (we are involved in Manufacturing & Trading Activities)
Can SL or CL can combine with regional holiday?
For eg - 15-Aug ...........Independence Day
16-Aug----------CL
17-Aug---------CL
18-Aug----------Regional Holiday (Raksha Bandhan)
19-Aug............will resume on duty.
Please Guide.
