National, Gazetted, and Restricted Holidays in India 2027
These terms describe different parts of India's holiday system. They should be read with the employer, office, and jurisdiction that issued the calendar.
National Holidays in India
Republic Day on 26 January, Independence Day on 15 August, and Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday on 2 October are the three national holidays in India 2027 identified by the DoPT memorandum. They also appear in the Central Government list shown above.
India Gazetted Holidays 2027
The 17-entry Annexure I schedule is used here for Central Government administrative offices in Delhi and New Delhi. India gazetted holidays 2027 include the national dates and other listed observances such as Holi, Good Friday, Diwali, Guru Nanak's Birthday, and Christmas Day.
India Restricted Holidays 2027
A Restricted Holiday is not an automatic nationwide closure. Under the DoPT framework, an eligible Central Government employee may choose two India restricted holidays 2027 from the applicable list, subject to entitlement, office procedure, staffing needs, and the memorandum.
Central Government Holidays 2027 in India
Offices outside Delhi and New Delhi use the compulsory holidays and locally selected dates described by the DoPT rules. Before arranging leave, an appointment, a tender, a filing deadline, or an office visit, use the 2027 calendar issued for that Central Government department and location.
Movable Religious Holiday Dates
Several religious dates are listed according to the official schedule available at publication. Where an observance depends on an authorised announcement or local determination, confirm the final notice near the date instead of relying only on an earlier personal calendar.
Festival Calendars and Days Off
An India festival calendar 2027 can include many cultural and religious observances that are not closures in this Central Government schedule. Check whether a festival is gazetted, restricted, State-specific, institutional, or simply commemorative before treating it as a non-working day.
India State and Union Territory Holidays 2027
India government holidays 2027 depend on the authority that controls the workplace or service. Use the guide below to avoid applying the Delhi and New Delhi Central Government schedule to a different jurisdiction.
India State-Wise Holiday List 2027
For a State department, municipal office, local court, or State-run institution, begin with the notification issued by that State government. Regional festivals, foundation days, election notices, and administrative orders can create dates that do not appear in the Central Government list.
India Union Territory Holidays 2027
Union Territory calendars can also contain local selections and service-specific instructions. Check the administration responsible for the office you plan to visit, especially when attendance, registration, licensing, or document collection has a fixed deadline.
Which 2027 India Holiday Calendar Should You Use?
Match the calendar to the decision: DoPT for the listed Central Government offices, a State or Union Territory order for local administration, RBI for a bank location, an education authority for a school, and the employer's policy for a private workplace.
Banks, Post Offices, and Schools on India Public Holidays 2027
Bank Holidays in India
India bank holidays 2027 vary by State, city, and banking operation. Before a branch visit, cheque deposit, settlement, transfer deadline, or loan appointment, select the relevant RBI regional calendar and confirm the branch notice. Mobile banking may remain available even when counters, clearing, or settlement windows are affected.
Check the RBI holiday matrixIndia Post Holidays
India Post holidays 2027 can affect counter service, collection, dispatch, and delivery, but circle and local-office notices still matter. For a passport packet, legal document, Speed Post item, or time-sensitive parcel, confirm the operating hours of the specific post office and allow for the next processing day.
Check India Post holiday informationSchool Holidays in India
India school holidays 2027 depend on the State or Union Territory, education board, institution, climate calendar, and academic term. Public holidays are reference dates, not a complete vacation timetable. Confirm examinations, term breaks, festival closures, and reopening days with the school or education authority.
Compare school holiday calendarsPrivate Employers and Workplace Leave
A Central Government gazetted holiday does not by itself define paid leave for every private employee. Check the establishment's holiday notice, employment terms, shift roster, and local labour requirements before assuming that an office, factory, shop, or support team will close.
Add India Public Holidays 2027 to Calendar
The ICS file contains the 17 gazetted dates shown on this page for Central Government administrative offices in Delhi and New Delhi. It does not add Restricted Holidays, State or Union Territory dates, bank holidays, school breaks, or local postal closures.
India Public Holidays 2027 FAQ
How many public holidays are there in India in 2027?
India does not have one holiday count that applies identically to every workplace and jurisdiction. This page lists 17 gazetted holiday entries for Central Government administrative offices in Delhi and New Delhi. Because Independence Day and Milad-un-Nabi share 15 August, those entries occupy 16 calendar dates. State, Union Territory, bank, school, and employer calendars can differ.
Which India public holidays fall on the same date in 2027?
The 2027 DoPT schedule for Central Government administrative offices in Delhi and New Delhi lists both Independence Day and Milad-un-Nabi / Id-e-Milad on Sunday, 15 August 2027. Both entries remain in the holiday list even though they share one calendar date.
Are the 2027 India holiday dates the same in every State and Union Territory?
No. This page follows the DoPT schedule for Central Government administrative offices in Delhi and New Delhi. Offices elsewhere may use State or Union Territory calendars and authorised local changes, particularly for Id-ul-Fitr, Id-ul-Zuha, Muharram, and Id-e-Milad. Check the notice for the exact office and location.
Does the India holiday list 2027 include every festival and local holiday?
No. The main list contains the gazetted schedule for Central Government administrative offices in Delhi and New Delhi. Restricted Holidays, State and Union Territory observances, district notices, school vacations, bank closures, and employer leave calendars are separate. A festival can be widely observed without creating the same day off for every office or service.
