If national holiday falls on sunday we need to give extra wages to workers or can we extend the holiday for that particular year or it is ok no need do any thing.
Kindly do the needful,

Dear Rohith,
Generally when a National holiday falls on a Sunday companies declare yet another festival holiday falling on a week day in lieu of it. By doing this the employee enjoys the total number of holidays in the calendar year (8 days or 9 days as the case may be).

Hi,
I also agree with Kannan and I had never heard company paying extra wages in this cases. It is good practice to give another holiday in such cases.

Dear Rohith,
Let me clarify as to how holidays are decided.
First decide the total holidays you intend to extend for your employees.
If you decide to declare say 12 days in the year, then list out the 12 days. For example
1. 01st January
2. 26th January
3. 14th April
4. 01st May
5. 15th August
6. 02nd October
7. 25th December
8. Ayudha Pooja
9. Deepavali
10. Ganesh Chathurthi
11. Ramzan
12. Good Friday
If one or more holidays fall on a Sunday then it is advisable that the employees are given a compensatory off.
Generally 8 or 9 days holidays are only declared by companies. But in your case if you have extended holidays beyond the above then you cannot revert to 8 or 9 days as any benefit that is superior to the act cannot be withdrawn.
Trust the matter is clear

Dear Mr. Rohit,
Let me clarify the point no 1 raised by you. We should never think in terms of paying for holiday in cash. All we want is that employees should have rest and come back refreshed. If. we start thinking of paying cash for a holiday, it will set bad precedent and can not be withdrawn later. Like once you have stated giving 12 paid holidays, you can not reduce them now.
