Using this calendar

Ladakh GAD Order 530-LA(GAD), 14 November 2025, signed government notification copy. Annexure A public holidays for UT government offices and educational institutions; B local only; C two restricted employee days; D banks. Moon-dependent starred dates provisional. Vacation periods not inferred. Reviewed 2026 calendar: 40 dated entries, including 13 provisional entries. Restricted/optional employee leave, local and conditional closures, bank-only dates and observances are separately labelled. Later amendments and unsupported dates remain pending; missing dates do not establish working days.

Offices

Government-office closures follow the scope on each entry. Restricted and optional leave does not close offices; local and conditional entries apply only to the named establishments or employees.

Banks

Bank coverage is shown only where established in the reviewed material. Annual account closing is bank-only. A government-office holiday is not automatically a bank holiday.

Schools

Public holidays do not establish school terms or vacation periods. A verified school schedule is required.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a holiday in this calendar?

Use Find a holiday to filter the displayed calendar by name. Select a state or territory first to search its available calendar entries, including local and part-day entries.

How are long weekends calculated?

Choose the assumed weekend and press Calculate. Each result uses full-day public holidays from one jurisdiction only. Local holidays, sector-only dates and part-day holidays are excluded; employer schedules may differ.

Does an additional or substitute date replace the observance?

The recorded date role distinguishes additional holidays, substitute days and observances. Follow the official source and coverage note for the selected jurisdiction.

Are school holidays the same as public holidays?

No. School terms, breaks and student-free days have separate state or territory calendars. Some divisions use different dates, and individual schools can have additional arrangements.

What does the downloaded planner include?

The PDF uses the selected calendar and weekend assumption, with long-weekend planning, notes and official sources. A national overview keeps occasions separate from state-specific closures. The calendar download for a selected jurisdiction retains coverage and part-day hours.

What should I check before arranging leave?

Read the date status and coverage note, then check employer, bank, school and transport arrangements. Dates awaiting an official announcement are explicitly identified; a missing date does not mean a normal working day.
