Hi Smita,
In my organization, we give 10 holidays. However, you need to consider all factors. We provide 10 holidays because we have a 5-day working week. In organizations that operate 6 days a week, 14 holidays can be given.
Thanks and Regards,
Karan

Hi Smita,
Generally, the pattern is 3 national holidays and 5 others of general interest. If you are a manufacturing establishment (factory), you need to consult your union. Also, see the provisions of the Model Standing Orders applicable to you. If you are not a factory, then refer to the relevant act for your establishment, such as the Shops and Establishment Act, etc. You may also take cues from establishments similar to yours. In older establishments, the holiday pattern (number of holidays) is already set. Just follow them unless there is a very valid reason to deviate. In such cases, in my experience, it is difficult to lessen the number.

Dear Mehul,
The determination of holidays will depend upon the nature of the business, rituals of the company, state laws, and the present market condition. Our company is in the FMCG manufacturing sector, and we observe only 7 out of 7 holidays, three of which are national holidays.
Thank you.

Hi Krishna,
There are two kinds of holidays:
1. Closed holidays, which are compulsory national holidays, consist of five festivals and four national holidays, i.e., on 26th January, 15th August, 2nd October, and 1st May each year, for every person employed in an Industrial Establishment.
2. Optional holidays: If an industry/organization is spread across different states, to accommodate the local importance of festivals, employees can choose 2 or more holidays, with the total restricted to the number of holidays decided by the company. There is a restriction regarding the minimum compulsory holidays, but there is no such restriction on the maximum number of holidays if the company is very liberal in this regard.
