What is the difference between a publicly declared holiday and a non-working day according to a labour agreement?
Eid al-Fitr, also known as the Festival of Breaking the Fast, is a significant Islamic holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting period during Ramadan. The holiday falls on the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar, which varies based on the sighting of the new moon by local religious authorities.
India works with a comprehensive two-tier holiday schedule. As the laytime permitted could be artificially inflated if all these holidays were excluded from laytime, a practice of announcing "Charter Party Holidays" has been in place for several years. BIMCO provides this information in the supplement to the BIMCO Holiday Calendar.
