Dussehra Long Weekend

Oct 17 – Oct 20, 2026

1 leave → 4 days off

Trade one leave for a 4-day weekend around Dussehra.

The Math

How this works

Take one leave on Oct 19, 2026 (Monday) → 4-day weekend.

Every leave you spend gets you 4 days of vacation.

Assumes only the working days you apply for count as leave. If your employer debits sandwiched weekends too, the planner on the homepage recalculates for that policy.
