2025 Public Holidays in India: Schools, Banks And Offices Closed On These Dates, Complete State-Wise List

The Central Government has announced the official list of gazetted and restricted holidays for 2025, providing a comprehensive schedule for public holidays across the country. This annual declaration helps government offices, private organizations, and individuals plan their year in advance.

Gazetted holidays are mandatory observances that require all government offices to remain closed. These holidays represent significant national, cultural, or religious events and are uniformly followed across India.

Restricted holidays, on the other hand, are optional, offering employees the flexibility to select days based on personal preferences, religious beliefs, or regional significance. The choice of restricted holidays varies between institutions, organizations, and states.

The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances, and Pensions issued a circular detailing 17 gazetted holidays and 34 restricted holidays for 2025. This list reflects the nation's diverse cultural and religious fabric while balancing mandatory observances with personal choices.
