Frequently asked questions
Is the linked website the issuing authority?
The Government of Gujarat issued the notification. Labour Code Advisor hosts the reviewed scan.
Can all optional dates be shown as compulsory holidays?
Use the optional-holiday rules and selection process stated in the source. Displaying every optional date as a closure can misstate the calendar.
Should private employers use the government-office schedule automatically?
