Dear Ankit,
We cannot remove Gandhi Jayanthi from the Holiday List. It is a HFH. The following 4 are mandatory NFH (National Festival Holidays):
1. Republic Day
2. May Day
3. Independence Day
4. Gandhi Jayanthi
Thank you.

Dear Ankit,
Gandhi Jayanti is a national holiday and hence can't be cancelled. The holidays declared by the central government are of two types: compulsory for all (state/central government departments, government/private companies) and compulsory for central government departments/undertakings/companies only, and optional for the rest. Gandhi Jayanti falls under the compulsory category. You may check the holiday list declared by the central government to get an idea.
To prepare a holiday list for your organization, you need to check the state and central government holiday lists and the obligations outlined there. I hope this information will be helpful for you.

Hello,
Gandhi Jayanthi is a government-declared holiday, and it cannot be bypassed. Doing so is illegal, and severe action will be taken against the organization. However, if specific employees are working due to an emergency, Form V has to be filled, and the same has to be submitted to the Inspector of Factories.

Dear Friend,
How nice to see this question. One of the most cherished leaders of this nation in the fight for freedom. Now, we are compelled to address the question: can Gandhi Jayanti be canceled as a holiday? The unfortunate aspect here on CiteHR is that the question should have been promptly removed upon posting. This question speaks to the truly distressing state of employer-employee relations. The best answer remains that you are still reading this, and CiteHR has allowed me to write. May this New Year bring goodness to all.

Dear Ankit, I have also seen companies (specially factories) which run 24X7 asking employees of essential services to come on Gandhi Jayanti as they cannot afford to stop the plant.

Let us stop this patriotism nonsense. We are not a political forum.
Gandhi Jayanti has lost its relevance, and no one cares. It's not a religious holiday that someone actually needs to be home for. The question is very much relevant and is being repeatedly asked by many companies and employers.
In any case, this year, October 2nd is a Sunday, so if you are an office, the question is moot. As the others have stated, it's a required holiday. But you can work on that day. You will need to give a compensatory off and pay overtime wages for all the employees.

Dear Ankit,
You cannot remove Gandhi Jayanti from the holiday list. However, you can operate the factory by providing advance intimation (at least one week before) to the Inspector of Factories using Form V. You must offer double wages or compensation to those who work on that day.

Please stop this.
If your company wants to give you leave, you can approach the government. The government will provide you with the correct answer. Don't ask in public; you should consider it yourself.
Please give respect to the "Father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi."
