Restricted Holiday 2017
Restricted holidays are the holidays which an employee can avail from the list of Gazetted/restricted holidays. Further these are the holidays only for employee and not for the organization or government departments. Their offices do not close at that day. So there are many differences in gazetted and restricted holidays. The first is that office closes on gazetted holiday but it doesn’t on restricted holiday. The second is that on restricted holiday all employees are not on leave like on gazetted holiday. The third is that while the gazette holiday is pre announced but one have to take the permission from boss or head to avail restricted holidays. The restricted holidays can be prefixed or suffixed with the regular or casual holidays. One can avail two restricted holidays per annum. Further if Sunday comes before or after restricted holiday it will not be counted as a restricted holiday. Again if an employee does not avail any restricted holiday he will not be shown on leave but the two days will be shown as holidays. New year’s day, Guru Nanak Birthday, Deepawali (South India) are some of the examples of restricted leaves in India.
In India restricted holidays are provided to employees to accommodate the festival and cultural pluralism of India. People of Punjab celebrates baishakhi but it is not celebrated all over the India but Punjabi are leaving all aver India hence this holiday is important for them. Same is the importance of Guru nanak Birthday for Sikhs, Pongal for Tamilians, onam for Malyalis and Dayanand jayanti for Arya Samaji .In this way there arises a need to provide restricted holidays to employee of different cultural background to show the respect to our cultural pluralism. In this way government satisfy the people of different religions. The diversity in Indian culture is very large. Fortunately the division of states is on the base of culture and language although it has its own demerits. In this way state governments announce also announces holidays on their local festivals. Private sectors also give restricted holidays to their employee. Some of them have announced Saturday as restricted holiday so employee can avail holiday an Saturday if they have a big excuse and are clever enough to get the permission from boss so restricted holidays are of great use for employees. Restricted holidays are limited only for two days per annum.
