May 2026 Has Limited Official Holidays with Eid-ul-Zuha on May 27 as Key Break

May 2026 features limited official holidays, with only one gazetted holiday on May 27 for Eid-ul-Zuha (Bakrid). Earlier in the month, May 1 was observed as a government holiday for Buddha Purnima, and May 9 is a restricted holiday for Rabindranath Tagore's birth anniversary. Bank closures will occur on Bakrid, the second and fourth Saturdays, and all Sundays. Holiday schedules vary by state, and extended breaks are scarce, leading to a long stretch of workdays for many.
