Makar Sankranti Extended

Jan 10 – Jan 14, 2026

2 leaves → 5 days off

5 days off for 2 strategic leaves around Makar Sankranti / Pongal.

The Math

How this works

Take 2 leaves (Jan 12, 2026 (Monday), Jan 13, 2026 (Tuesday)) → 5 days off.

Every leave gets you about 2.5 days.

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.

Context
