Restricted holiday means a holiday that is optional, and it is the discretion of the employee whether they want to take leave on that particular day or not. Restricted holiday is also called an 'Optional Holiday' and it is not mandatory to close the entire office on that day.
My Dad used to take the next day of Janmashtmi OFF because we used to celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna at midnight so he used to say that taking the next day off made more sense...and if we were tired we used to get to stay home too..
