About this list
National holidays (Republic Day, Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti) apply across India. Bank holidays are declared state-wise under the Negotiable Instruments Act, so a bank holiday listed here may not apply in your state — verify with your state's official gazette for leave planning. Festival dates that depend on the lunar calendar can also shift by a day between states.
