## Limitations

You need a state/UT, bank, employer, school, exchange or exact outside-Delhi local optional calendar. Normalize endpoints, apply weekly baseline and applicable Gazetted dates, and preserve Restricted events separately. All values are computed from the formula above; no measurement or live data is involved.

## FAQ

**Does the count pick the three optional holidays outside Delhi?**

No. The official memorandum delegates that selection locally, so the package fails closed rather than inventing it.
