Missing entries do not establish that a jurisdiction has no holiday. Check its calendar for pending official dates and local exceptions.
Holiday administration follows the applicable government, state/UT and institution calendar. Festival identities and closure dates are recorded separately.
Check the coverage label: central offices, state offices and private employers may follow different schedules. Restricted leave requires eligibility and approval.
Bank-only closing days are separate from public-office holidays. Follow the relevant NI Act notification and your branch schedule; do not treat every gazetted or school holiday as a bank closure.
Use the named KVS group for the available inclusive break dates. Board, institution, station classification and emergency orders can change school calendars.
Choose the destination state/UT and year before planning. Lunar dates and future notifications can change. The default Saturday/Sunday weekend is an assumption, not a universal Indian working week.
No. Republic Day, Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti are the national anchors. Central-office and state notifications apply to their stated establishments; private workplaces must check their own arrangements.
Use the selected jurisdiction. In 2026 Holi is 3 March in Maharashtra and 4 March for Delhi central offices. Kerala Vijayadasami is 21 October, while Delhi and Maharashtra list Dussehra on 20 October.
Only dates supported by checked official evidence are confirmed here. Moon-dependent published dates remain provisional unless a later authoritative announcement settles the closure. Future estimates are not announcements.
No. They are optional leave for eligible employees under the applicable notification. They are excluded from general public-closure long weekends.
No substitute day is inferred. The DoPT memorandum does not grant a substitute just because a festival falls on a weekly off. Kerala 28 May 2026 is an explicitly announced additional Bakrid holiday, not a general substitute rule.
Only the named KVS school groups and published 2026/2027 breaks are included. They do not represent every school in Delhi, Maharashtra or Kerala.
