Hi Friends,
I am getting hold violation due to clock skew. this skew is due to gated clock. pls help me on this.
NOTE : any help or suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thank You

Avoid using that structure for gated clocks. Instead, use a synchronous clock enable on the destination FFs (preferred) or use a BUFGCE to gate the clock making sure to account for it in static timing analysis. The hold violations you're seeing are known using combinatorial clock gating.
Thanks,

I agree with patocarr’s recommendations for gating a clock.
By routing a clock through a LUT, you are doing is called “pulling a clock from the clock-tree” or “routing a clock through the FPGA fabric”. This usually causes large clock-skew and problems with timing analysis. Generally, you want clocks to be routed only to the following:
Here are other situations where you might want to “pull a clock from the clock-tree” - and what you should do instead:
