This year, the Diwali festival will be celebrated on 25 Oct 2025 Monday, which is a public holiday. As Diwali is one of the biggest festivals in India, some employees want to visit their village and the houses of their loved ones to celebrate it. In that case, a single holiday is not sufficient. To do so, they have to request additional leave from the office.
Here you will find examples of Diwali leave application formats that you can use in your office.
