The 2026 holiday calendar for India has been released, detailing national holidays, major festivals, and bank breaks. While specific closures may vary by state and institution, the list serves as an early reference for schools, colleges, banks, and offices. Central government holidays are categorized as Gazetted (mandatory) and Restricted (optional). Banks follow RBI and state lists, and private offices may have their own observance policies. Final confirmation should be sought from official state and institutional notifications.
