⚖️ Legal Regulations

The Government of India designates Gazetted Holidays (mandatory public holidays) and Restricted Holidays (optional). Gazetted holidays are declared by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, and all central government offices remain closed. Restricted holidays are optional; central government employees may choose any two during the year based on personal or religious preferences.
