Currently, workers are eligible for a total of 14 Gazetted Holidays and 2 Restricted Holidays each and every year in addition to the three National Holidays. Eleven of India’s fourteen Gazetted Holidays are universally celebrated, while the other three are subject to local discretion. A list of restricted holidays is compiled at the local level, taking into account factors specific to that area; employees are allowed to pick any two holidays from that list to take off during the course of a year. There are currently calls for the 1st of May and the 14th of April to be made into government-mandated holidays across India. In addition to this, there have been suggestions made to raise the number of locally decided Gazetted Holidays from three to six.
