The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited in New Delhi issued a list of holidays with dates, occasions, and the dates. The order issued by the main office is followed by every branch across India. This governmental organisation has 14 important holidays that are mandatorily given to every employee. The working hours are generally from 9 am to 5:30 pm. Apart from these 14 compulsory holidays, BSNL holidays come on several other important occasions as well and they are allotted as per the state they operate. Check out the BSNL Holidays list 2020 and the special holidays as per the state.

Apart from the 14 compulsory holidays, the employees also get the three optional holidays as Effective Holidays as per the guidelines. The offices do not enjoy any substitute holidays if the given holidays fall during the day of a weekly off.  In the extensive BSNL holiday list 2020, many holidays fall on a Sunday such as Republic Day, Muharram and Dussehra (Vijay Dashmi). The BSNL offices remain open on Saturdays. However, the Executive offices of this sector enjoy the pleasure of having an off on the 2nd Saturday of every month. The working hours on Saturdays are the same from  9 am to 5:30 pm.
