We received your query regarding the omission of a Takbeer in Eid Salaah. Our response is as follows:
The additional Takbeers of the Eid Salaah are Waajib. So if one happens to omit one of them, then this omission entails Sajdah Sahw.
However, if the gathering is very large than one may leave out the Sajda Sahw.
