Good to know
- Compared with the central list. The Delhi list matches our Central Government list for closed holidays and adds Maharishi Valmiki's Birthday on 26 October, which the central list treats as restricted.
- Diwali. 8 November falls on a Sunday, and none of the copies shows a replacement day.
- Not counted. 1 April, the annual closing of bank accounts, is for banks only. Restricted holidays, which employees may take a limited number of, are listed separately and are not included here.
- Id-ul-Fitr, Id-ul-Zuha, Muharram and Id-e-Milad depend on the moon and can move by a day.
Building your company's Delhi calendar
If you run HR for a company with staff in Delhi, 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.
For the central government list, see Central Government holiday list 2026.

Delhi Government list of gazetted holidays for 2026, as published by greytHR, IndianHRM and DailyCalendar (three independent copies), read on 10 November 2026. We could not find the Delhi government order on its own site. We compiled the list from three published copies (greytHR, IndianHRM and DailyCalendar). They agree on all 18 dates and weekdays, and on the count. None of them gives an order number. One site mentions a General Administration Department order dated 4 December 2025, which we could not confirm. Treat this page as a well-checked compilation and confirm with your office circular. Weekdays were checked against the calendar. Rules last reviewed 9 November 2026.
