Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between national, gazetted, and restricted holidays in India?

Only Republic Day (26 January), Independence Day (15 August), and Gandhi Jayanti (2 October) are national holidays observed everywhere. The other gazetted holidays close central government offices, with three of them chosen locally by each region's welfare committee. Restricted holidays form a separate optional list from which each central government employee may pick two; state governments and private employers set their own calendars.

Can the Islamic holiday dates in India change?

Yes. The official list itself notes that Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-ul-Zuha, Muharram, and Milad-un-Nabi depend on moon sighting. In 2026, Eid-ul-Zuha was gazetted for 27 May but observed on 28 May in most states after the crescent was not sighted; this calendar keeps the official gazetted date.
