Building your company's Himachal Pradesh calendar
If you run HR for a company with staff in Himachal Pradesh, 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 2027. The Himachal Pradesh list for 2026 is at Himachal Pradesh holiday list 2026.
