Official sources and date status
Recorded confirmation and independent source review are shown separately. An institution-specific notice does not establish closure for every employer or school.
No complete authoritative Afghanistan government calendar for 2027 was located as of 3 October 2026. Lunar dates and annual-announcement-dependent state dates remain provisional; unsupported closures are omitted.
Pre-2021 statutory baseline only. Current Islamic Emirate decisions and dated notices control where the framework has changed or official sources conflict.
Office arrangements
2026 closure is confirmed from current official evidence. Future occurrences remain provisional where annual or lunar confirmation is outstanding.
Bank arrangements
No separate nationwide bank-closure claim is made; confirm operational notices with the institution.
School arrangements
No separate school-calendar claim is inferred from the public-holiday record.
History
26 Dalwa marks the defeat and withdrawal of Soviet forces. Its 2026 closure was expressly announced by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.
Why it matters
The calendar separates fixed national/state holidays, Islamic lunar holidays and unsupported commemorations.
Observance
Observance does not create an extra substitute, bridge or discretionary closure day.
Travel and planning
Check current ministry notices before time-sensitive travel or appointments.
