What is Restricted Holiday?

An optional paid holiday in India from a government-published list that employees may choose to observe based on their personal, religious, or cultural preferences, with Central Government employees typically allowed to select 2 per year.

Why it matters in hiring

Restricted Holiday comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
