Comprehensive List of Paid Holidays for Employees in Hyderabad, India for the Year 2026
I appreciate your effort in compiling the list of paid holidays for the year 2026 for employees based in Hyderabad, India. It's important to ensure that we're adhering to the local employment laws and regulations. Here are a few points to consider:
1. It's crucial to note that paid holidays in India are governed by different laws such as The Factories Act, 1948, The Shops and Commercial Establishments Act (state-specific), and The National and Festival Holidays Act (state-specific). These laws mandate different numbers of holidays. For instance, The Factories Act, mandates at least 9 paid holidays in a year whereas The Shops and Commercial Establishments Act of Telangana, which would apply to Hyderabad, mandates at least 4 paid holidays.
2. Additionally, the list of holidays can vary depending on the nature of the industry, the cultural and religious significance of the region, and the discretion of the employer. It's common for organizations in India to also provide paid leaves for local festivals or significant days.
3. Regardless of the list you have prepared, it's important to announce the list of paid holidays at the beginning of the year or at least one month before the commencement of the year. This is a requirement under the Telangana Shops and Establishments Act.
4. Lastly, while preparing the list, make sure to include all the national holidays i.e., Republic Day (January 26), Independence Day (August 15), and Gandhi Jayanti (October 2). Also, ensure to include some of the major festivals celebrated in Hyderabad like Ugadi, Bonalu, Ram Navami, Eid, etc.
To get a comprehensive list of holidays, you can refer to the https://www.telangana.gov.in/ which is the official website for the state government of Telangana.
Please review your list with these points in mind and adjust accordingly. If you have any more queries or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
