- On a Sunday. The list also names Independence Day (Milad-un-Nabi) (15 August); Ningol Chakkouba (31 October); Nupi Lal (12 December). These fall on a Sunday, so they are not counted here.
- Applies to Manipur government offices. The notification lists 29 general holidays; 3 fall on a Sunday (Independence Day 15 Aug, Ningol Chakkouba 31 Oct, Nupi Lal 12 Dec), leaving 26 on other days.
- Id-ul-Fitr, Id-ul-Zuha (Bakrid) and Milad-un-Nabi are starred in the notification as dependent on the sighting of the moon; Milad-un-Nabi is listed together with Independence Day on 15 August.
- Kang (Rathajatra) may be replaced by a local holiday in the Hill Districts and the Manipur Bhawans at Kolkata, Delhi and Guwahati, with prior Government approval by 31 January 2027.
- A separate list of 22 Public Holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (bank holidays) is issued in the same notification and is not part of this list.
- Optional holidays. Government employees may avail 2 Restricted Holidays out of the 35 listed in Annexure-II of the notification.
- Saturdays. We could not confirm which Saturdays are off for state offices, so only Sundays are counted as weekly offs.

Building your company's Manipur calendar
If you run HR for a company with staff in Manipur, 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.
