Good to know
- On a Sunday. The list also names Missionary Day (11 January); Diwali (Deepavali) (8 November). These fall on a Sunday, so they are not counted here.
- Applies to all offices under the Government of Mizoram. Hospitals, OPDs, dispensaries and police/fire services follow their own departmental notifications (memo paras 3-4).
- The memo lists 28 public holidays; 2 fall on a Sunday (Missionary Day 11 Jan, Diwali 8 Nov), leaving 26 on weekdays or Saturdays.
- Id-ul-Fitr (21 Mar), Independence Day (15 Aug) and Christmas Celebration (26 Dec) fall on a Saturday, already a weekly off.
- Bakrid is notified as Wednesday 27 May 2026. No Mizoram order moving it to 28 May was found (searched; the 28 May shift found is the Centre's for Delhi offices). 27 May used.
- Moon-dependent dates (Id-ul-Fitr, Bakrid, Muharram, Milad-un-Nabi) were fixed at notification time.
- Optional holidays. Each employee may avail any 2 of 34 restricted holidays listed in the memo (e.g. Makar Sankranti 14 Jan, Easter Monday 6 Apr, Rath Yatra 16 Jul, Raksha Bandhan 28 Aug, Ganesh Chaturthi 14 Sep, Karwa Chauth 29 Oct, Chhath 15 Nov, Christmas Festival 28 Dec).
- Source difference. ComplianceAge omits Ram Navami (26 Mar) and Mahavir Jayanti (31 Mar); greytHR omits Janmashtami (4 Sep). The official memo includes all three; memo followed.
- Source difference. Bakrid: caller's note says several states moved to 28 May; Mizoram's own memo says 27 May and no revision was found.
- Bakrid. The date shown, 27 May, is the one in the notification we read. The Centre and several states (Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and others) moved Bakrid to 28 May after the moon sighting. We have not seen a revision order for Mizoram, so check your office circular.
- 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 Mizoram calendar
If you run HR for a company with staff in Mizoram, 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. The Mizoram list for 2027 is at Mizoram holiday list 2027.
