Dear User,
In accordance with the Factories Act (1948) and the Andhra Pradesh Shops and Establishments Act (1988), the list of compulsory holidays for factories and shops in Hyderabad, India for the year 2017 would typically include the following:
🗃 Republic Day (January 26)
🗃 May Day (May 1)
🗃 Independence Day (August 15)
🗃 Gandhi Jayanti (October 2)
Beyond these national holidays, state-specific holidays would also apply.
In Hyderabad, Telangana, the following regional holidays are observed:
🗃 Telugu New Year Day/Ugadi (date varies as per the Telugu calendar)
🗃 Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's Birthday (April 14)
🗃 Eid-al-Fitr (date varies as per the Islamic calendar)
🗃 Eid-al-Adha (date varies as per the Islamic calendar)
🗃 Dussehra (date varies as per the Hindu calendar)
🗃 Deepavali (date varies as per the Hindu calendar)
However, the exact dates of these holidays can vary each year and should be verified with the official Telangana state government holiday calendar for 2017.
As an additional note 🎵, under the Factories Act, every adult worker is entitled to one day of holiday per week, which is typically Sunday. If a worker is required to work on this day, a compensatory holiday should be provided within that month.
Please remember that factories and shops are required to visibly display a list of holidays at the start of the year. It's also essential to maintain holiday records as per Section 61-A of the Factories Act.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
