Many companies also include Diwali in their annual holiday calendar. This means employees usually do not need to submit a Diwali application simply to take the day off if it is already a company holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you may need to submit a Diwali leave application if you want additional days off before or after the festival or need leave on a working day around Diwali. In such cases, a formal Diwali leave request may be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article explains when you may need a leave application for Diwali in the office, how to write one and different

If it is, you do not need to apply for leave for that day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check Your Leave Balance: <\/strong>If you are requesting additional days, make sure you have enough leave available. Depending on your company&#8217;s policy, you may be able to use earned, casual or other eligible leave.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check Optional Holiday Rules: <\/strong>If Diwali is an optional or restricted holiday in your organisation, check whether employees need to select it in advance or submit a separate request.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check the Working Days: <\/strong>Look at the dates around Diwali before submitting your request. This helps you identify which days are already holidays and which ones require a leave application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan Your Work: <\/strong>If your leave falls during a busy period, complete priority tasks beforehand or arrange a proper handover with your team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_For_Sending_A_Diwali_Leave_Request\"><\/span><strong>Tips For Sending A Diwali Leave Request<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A few simple steps can make your leave request clearer and easier to process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Apply in advance:<\/strong> Festival periods can have a high number of leave requests. Sending your request early gives your manager more time to plan team availability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mention exact dates:<\/strong> Avoid saying \u201cI need a few days off around Diwali.\u201d Clearly state the start and end dates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep the reason brief:<\/strong> A simple explanation is usually enough. You do not need to provide unnecessary personal information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Follow company policy:<\/strong> If your organisation requires leave applications through an HR portal, use that process instead of relying only on email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan the handover:<\/strong> If you have ongoing work, share relevant updates with your team before starting your leave.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Festival_Leave_Applications\"><\/span><strong>Other Festival Leave Applications<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The same basic format can be adapted for other festivals if you need additional leave around them. For example, you may need a <strong>leave letter for festival<\/strong> celebrations such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Holi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ganesh Chaturthi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Christmas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dussehra<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The key difference is that the holiday calendar can vary between companies and locations. Therefore, always check whether the festival is already a company holiday before submitting a leave request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Diwali application is generally not required when Diwali is already a holiday listed in your company&#8217;s calendar. However, you may need to submit a Diwali leave application if you want additional days off before or after the festival, need leave for a personal commitment, or want to use an optional holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before applying, check your company&#8217;s holiday calendar, leave balance and applicable leave policy. Mention the exact dates in your request and plan your work or handover in advance. A clear and timely Diwali leave request can help your manager understand your plans and make it easier to manage team schedules during the festive period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1789969121067\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q1_Do_I_need_a_leave_application_for_Diwali\"><\/span><strong>Q1.
