    Working days means something that is commonly used in office work.So it says something recognized by all the official work laws or something.

    If in UK the POs are opened in Saturdays then those 15 days may include Saturdays.
    Isn't it a holiday 25th of Dec? Anyway If that place is a government place then Government issued holidays are applicable.Checkout a calendar. if it is a private then like wise. :)

    So without 25th and Sundays, the final date should be 3rd Jan 2013, right?:confused::confused:

    No if it starts from 17 of December the final date would be 17+15 working days = 9 of January/2013 because there are 3 public holidays,6 week end days that should be excluded also there would be total 24 days from 17 to 9th of January. January 1st ,December 25, December 26 are public holidays.
