List of 33 Restricted Holidays in 2024

India’s work culture is characterized by a distinctive feature known as the CCS Rules, which sets it apart from other countries. The concept of restricted holidays is an integral part of this system. It allows employees to take two days off from work to celebrate their religious festivals or special occasions. Although offices remain open on these days, workers can choose to take time off as per their preference by referring to the restricted holiday list. This unique system is a testament to India’s commitment to promoting flexibility in the workplace and respecting the diverse cultural and religious affiliations of its workforce. It creates an environment of inclusivity and acknowledges the individual beliefs and practices of employees.
