Good to know
- On a Sunday. The list also names Independence Day (15 August); Milad-Un-Nabi (15 August). These fall on a Sunday, so they are not counted here.
- Puducherry has not yet issued its 2027 holiday order. This list will be replaced when it does.
- It follows the holidays in the original 2026 order for Puducherry and Karaikal. Mahe and Yanam have their own lists.
- Independence Day and Milad-Un-Nabi (15 August) fall on a Sunday.
- Ramzan, Bakrid and Milad-Un-Nabi depend on the moon and can move by a day. Some lists show Ramzan on 9 March.
- Deepavali is shown on 29 October. The government has in the past added or moved a holiday around Deepavali, so expect a change.
- Left out until the dates are known: Saraswathi Pooja and Ayudha Pooja, Thiruvalluvar Day and Mattu Pongal, Bhogi and Muharram. Published lists disagree on the first two, and the last two were added to the 2026 list only by later orders.
- De Jure Transfer Day (16 August) appears in two published lists as a Monday holiday. The 2026 order did not give it, so it is not shown here.
- Saturdays. We could not confirm which Saturdays are off for state offices, so only Sundays are counted as weekly offs.
- Source difference. Pongal: 15 January is used (officeholidays, qppstudio, Central Government order). Hyring shows 14 January.
- Source difference. Ramzan: 10 March is used (qppstudio and the Central Government order). Officeholidays and Hyring show 9 March, which one list ties to Mahe only.
- Source difference. Deepavali: 29 October is used (Hyring and the Central Government order).
- 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 Puducherry calendar
If you run HR for a company with staff in Puducherry, 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 Puducherry list for 2026 is at Puducherry holiday list 2026.
