Good to know
- On a Sunday. The list also names Independence Day (15 August); Gurpurab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji (14 November). These fall on a Sunday, so they are not counted here.
- Punjab has not yet issued its 2027 holiday notification. This list will be replaced when it does.
- It follows the holidays Punjab gave in 2026. Festival dates come from published 2027 calendars and the Central Government order for 2027.
- Independence Day (15 August) and the birthday of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji (14 November) fall on a Sunday.
- The Birthday of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji is shown on 15 January. In 2026 Punjab announced its date separately, so treat this date as likely, not certain.
- Left out until the dates are known: the Birthday of Sri Guru Nabha Dass Ji and Shaheedi Sabha at Sri Fatehgarh Sahib. Only one list gave a date for the first, and none gave a reliable date for the second.
- Vishwakarma Day is placed on the day after Diwali, as in 2026.
- Holi is on 23 March, as in the Central Government's 2027 order. Some calendars show 22 March, so the date can differ by a day.
- Source difference. Dussehra: 9 October is used (Central Government order, officeholidays, Hyring). CalendarLabs shows 10 October.
- Source difference. Martyrdom Day of Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji: 8 June is used (CalendarLabs, qppstudio). Hyring shows 16 June.
- Source difference. Maharaj Agrasen Jayanti: 30 September is used (two lists place the start of Navratri on that day). CalendarLabs' Punjab page shows 1 October.
- 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 Punjab calendar
If you run HR for a company with staff in Punjab, 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 Punjab list for 2026 is at Punjab holiday list 2026.
