Central Government Holiday: The holiday season begins with the first annexure, which provides central government employees with a defined set of leaves. These leaves provide the groundwork for a year of well-deserved rest.
Optional Leaves for Greater Flexibility, Second Annexure
Central Government Holiday: The arrival of the second annexure, which includes a range of alternative leaves, heightens the excitement. These breaks allow employees to personalize their vacation plans to their own requirements and interests. For people living in Delhi or New Delhi, there are two options for vacation. Meanwhile, employees who live outside of Delhi or New Delhi have the option of taking three optional holidays. This personalized strategy assures that 2024 will be a holiday-filled year customized to each employee’s specific circumstances.
