Gazetted and restricted holidays for all 28 states and 8 union territories — laid out the way a government notice board would, with month-wise grids and downloadable PDFs for each state.
Select any state to load its 2026 calendar below. States marked PENDING are placeholders — notification data will be added soon.
Each state follows its own gazette notification — no shared national list masquerading as local holidays.
Mandatory public holidays and optional restricted holidays are always kept in separate ledgers, as departments record them.
Month view, full holiday tables, and downloadable PDFs are kept in sync, so you're never cross-checking two different sources for the same date.
Gazetted holidays are mandatory — government offices, banks and most schools close, and staff get paid leave. Restricted holidays are optional; each employee usually picks a limited number from the list, subject to their department's approval.
Where a state shows as "Data ready," the dates are transcribed from that state's published gazette notification. States marked "Pending" are placeholders in this website awaiting official data — always cross-check with your department before relying on any date here.
Gazetted holidays are binding on government offices and banks. Private employers usually follow the same list but retain some flexibility — check your organisation's HR calendar for confirmation.
