Who decides these days
India has no single nationwide holiday list.
Each central-government office publishes its own, under a yearly Department of Personnel and Training memorandum, with the local employees' welfare committee recommending the contents.
There are two tiers, Compulsory Gazetted and Restricted.
The compulsory lists differ by place: for 2026 Delhi carries Ram Navami and Janmashtami where Bhubaneswar carries Ratha Yatra and Maha Navami.
