i done some modifications for considering holidays also(i.e local holiday).
also you can get nth working day from given day.
if holiday list is stored in table, you can build hash table on it instead of array of holiday. hash table will give lots of performance gain also

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>


#define OFORMAT "%Y-%m-%d"

//char holidy_list[][12]={"01-Jan-2004","03-Jan-2004","04-Jan-2004","10-Jan-2004","11-Jan-2004","17-Jan-2004","18-Jan-2004"};

char holidy_list[][12]={"2004-01-01","2004-01-03","2004-01-04","2004-01-10","2004-01-11","2004-01-17","2004-01-18"};

int main(void)
{
   struct tm xmas, *tm1;
   time_t tt;

   int flg=0,i,found=0;

   char date[] = "2003-12-31";
   char buf[12];



  int no_of_days =1;  // nth working day 
  int  count =0;

   if (strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d", &xmas) == NULL)
   {
      printf("strptime() failed.\n");
      exit(1);
   }


    tt = mktime(&xmas);
    tm1 = localtime(&tt);
    strftime(buf,sizeof(buf), OFORMAT, tm1);
    printf("\nOld Date is <%s>\n",buf);

 for(;;)
 {
    tt= tt-86400;
    tm1 = localtime(&tt);
    strftime(buf,sizeof(buf), OFORMAT, tm1);

    //printf("\nbuf<%s>  count<%d>",buf,count);
    found=0;
    if (tm1->tm_wday==0 || tm1->tm_wday ==6)
    {
         continue;
    }

    if(HashGet(buf))
     { found = 1;}

    if(found ==0)
     {
        count ++;
        if (count >= no_of_days)  break;

     }

     //printf("\nbuf<%s> hldlst<%s> count<%d>",buf,holidy_list[i],count);

  }

  for( i = 0; buf[ i ]; i++)
    buf[ i ] = toupper( buf[ i ] );
  printf( "\nNew Date is <%s>\n",buf);
}


int HashGet(char buf[])
{
    int i;
    for(i=0;i< (sizeof(holidy_list)/sizeof("30-DEC-2008"));i++)
    {
      if (strncasecmp(holidy_list[i],buf,sizeof(buf))==0)
        { return 1; break;}
    }
    return 0;
}

Anup13, I would follow the approach suggested by jim mcnamara and use an external holiday file. Otherwise you are going to have to modify your source code every year instead of just updating the holiday file.

I agree, something like SourceForge.net: xml-holidays home would work great for this.

ya, i know using file is much more good thing. i kept array in my program just for testing purpose. actually in our case we have holiday table stored in database. before this code we build holiday has table based on some parameter for that year and next year. in in code instead of searching in arry of holiday, i do search in HASH table. its very fast search.
so i don't need to change code every year.
