Types of Government Holidays in India

In India, government holidays can be categorized into several types, including national holidays, state-specific holidays, and public holidays. Here are the main types:

1. Gazetted Holidays

In India, Gazetted Holidays refer to public holidays that are officially announced and published in the official government gazette. These holidays are declared by the government at the central or state level and are applicable across the respective jurisdiction.

2. National Holidays

These are holidays that are observed throughout the country. National holidays are typically declared by the central government and include:

Republic Day (January 26)
Independence Day (August 15)
Gandhi Jayanti (October 2)

3. State Holidays

Each state and union territory in India may have its own set of holidays based on regional significance, historical events, or local festivals. State holidays can vary between regions. Examples include:

Pongal in Tamil Nadu
Onam in Kerala
Bihu in Assam

4. Public Holidays

Public holidays are observed by the general public, including government offices and institutions. These holidays can be national or regional. Some public holidays are based on religious or cultural events, and their observance may vary by state.

5. Bank Holidays

Bank holidays are specific to the banking sector. On these days, banks are closed for regular business operations. Bank holidays often align with public holidays but may also include additional days for accounting purposes.

6. Restricted Holidays

Also known as optional holidays, restricted holidays are additional days that employees can choose to take off based on their religious or cultural preferences. These holidays allow individuals to celebrate festivals or events that may not be recognized as public holidays.

7. Half-Day Holidays

In some cases, a holiday may be declared as a half-day, with government offices or businesses closing early. This is typically done on the eve of a major festival or event.

8. Special Holidays

Occasionally, special holidays may be declared to commemorate significant events or to honor specific individuals. These holidays are not fixed and are declared on an ad-hoc basis.

9. Observance Holidays

“Observance holidays” typically refer to days that are recognized or observed for a specific purpose, event, or cause but may not necessarily result in widespread closures of businesses or government offices. These holidays are more symbolic or ceremonial, and while some people or organizations may choose to observe them, they don’t typically involve a mandatory day off for the general public.
