Are you looking for the Government Holidays 2021? Then, you have landed on the exact blog that has all the Government Holidays in 2021. We know, holidays are the best part of the year. That makes your year more happening. From New Year to Christmas, we look forward to Festivals and Holidays and so on. Therefore, to make it so much easier for you, we listed all the Government holidays here.

Government holidays are the National Holidays that are observed throughout the country. The Restricted and Gazetted holidays that a country observes in a year. The organisations are closed and the employees get the paid holiday. Yeah, that is the best thing. Gazetted holidays are the holidays that the whole country gets by default. No employee, no organisation, no student, no school operated or works on this Gazetted holiday. Therefore, a mandatory holiday for all. However, in case of Restricted holidays an individual gets the right to choose a limited number of offs from the list of restricted holidays. Basically, a flexible holiday. The organisation is not closed, just the particular employee can apply for this day to be an off.
