⚖️ Legal Regulations

In the United States, federal holidays are established by federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) for government employees, with private sector observance being voluntary but common. India's public holidays are governed by central and state government notifications, with three mandatory national holidays (Republic Day, Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti) and additional gazetted and restricted holidays varying by state.
India's working day regulations for central government offices follow a two-part holiday system. Gazetted holidays are mandatory national public holidays requiring office closure. Additionally, employees are entitled to choose two optional 'restricted holidays' from a designated list, allowing for personal, regional, or religious observances.
