Good to know
- On a Sunday. The list also names Mahashivratri (15 February); Bhakt Mata Karma Jayanti (15 March); World Tribal Day (Vishwa Adivasi Diwas) (9 August); Diwali (Deepawali) (8 November); Chhath Puja (15 November). These fall on a Sunday, so they are not counted here.
- The list is the General Administration Department's general-holiday list: 28 dates, 5 of which fall on Sundays (23 on working days, matching Sakshi Post's stated 23).
- Govardhan Puja (Mon 9 Nov 2026) was optional in the original order; Navbharat Live (27 Oct 2026) reports GAD amended it to a public holiday. Left out of items because only one source reports it; verify at gad.cg.gov.in.
- 1 April (Wed) is a bank annual closing day only, not a government holiday.
- District holidays exist only locally (e.g. Kabirdham local holidays 3 Aug, 19 Oct, 11 Nov; Raipur local holiday moved to 20 Nov); not state-wide.
- Optional/restricted: 56 selectable plus 5 that fall on Sundays; not included.
- Eid-ul-Fitr, Muharram and Milad-un-Nabi are moon-dependent.
- Id-ul-Zuha (Bakrid) is not in the list above because the copies we read disagree on 27 or 28 May and we could not confirm which date the state notified. Check your office circular.
- Optional holidays. Employees may choose 3 optional holidays out of 56 selectable (Current India); another report (Patrika) says 2. Unresolved.
- Saturdays. We could not confirm which Saturdays are off for state offices, so only Sundays are counted as weekly offs.
- Source difference. Bakrid (Id-ul-Zuha): 27 May (Current India, greythr, PocketHRMS) vs 28 May (Keka, which cites the gazette; Delhi/UP/WB and the Centre moved it to 28 May). Unresolved, left out of items. Verify at gad.cg.gov.in.
- Source difference. Govardhan Puja 9 Nov: optional in original list; public per Navbharat Live amendment. Single source, left out; verify.
- Source difference. Milad-un-Nabi: 26 Aug (Current India, greythr, Keka) vs 25 Aug (PocketHRMS); resolved as 26 Aug (3 sources).
- Festivals tied to the moon, such as the Eid festivals and Muharram, can move by a day. Any change is announced at short notice.
Building your company's Chhattisgarh calendar
If you run HR for a company with staff in Chhattisgarh, treat this list as your starting point. Add the national days your policy gives, decide whether you offer floating holidays, say in writing what happens when a holiday falls on a weekend, and publish the final calendar before the year begins. If you have offices in several states, keep one calendar for each.
