Good to know
- On a Sunday. The list also names Birthday of Rabindranath Tagore (9 May); Independence Day (15 August); Bhratridwitiya (31 October); Birthday of Guru Nanak (14 November). These fall on a Sunday, so they are not counted here.
- It is built from published 2027 calendars. Most of these are automated estimates, not government orders. We use a date only when at least two published lists agree, and we compare festival dates with the Central Government order for 2027.
- This page will be replaced with the official dates as soon as the state notifies them.
- Festivals that follow the moon (Eid, Muharram, Milad) can move by a day.
- Durga Puja is shown as Saptami 6 October, Ashtami 7 October, Nabami 8 October and Dasami 9 October. This follows the Central Government order. Some lists put Nabami and Dasami one day later.
- Kali Puja is shown on 28 October. Two lists give that date. One list gives Diwali on 29 October.
- Rabindranath Tagore's birthday, Independence Day, Bhratridwitiya and Guru Nanak's birthday fall on a Sunday.
- Holidays on a Saturday apply only to offices where Saturday is not a full holiday, as in the 2026 notification.
- Optional holidays. Optional or restricted holidays are not part of this list.
- Source difference. Durga Puja: lists disagree. OfficeHolidays and the Central order give 6, 7, 8, 9 October (Saptami to Dasami). PublicHolidays.in and CalendarLabs give Ashtami 8, Nabami 9, Dasami 10 October. Hyring gives 6, 7, 9, 10 October. Kept the Central dates for the whole run so the days stay in order.
- Source difference. Muharram: 15 June (PublicHolidays.in, CalendarLabs) vs 16 June (OfficeHolidays, Central order). Two against two, so the Central date was used.
- Source difference. Kali Puja: 28 October (OfficeHolidays, Hyring) vs Diwali on 29 October (PublicHolidays.in, Central 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 West Bengal calendar
If you run HR for a company with staff in West Bengal, 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 West Bengal list for 2026 is at West Bengal holiday list 2026.

West Bengal 2027 holiday list (provisional), compiled from OfficeHolidays.com, PublicHolidays.in, Hyring and CalendarLabs, read on 10 November 2026. The West Bengal government has not published its holiday notification for 2027 yet (last checked 10 November 2026). We put this list together from OfficeHolidays.com, PublicHolidays.in, Hyring and CalendarLabs, and checked every festival date against the Central Government's 2027 order. Dates can change when the state notifies. We update this page as soon as it does, so check back before you plan leave or payroll, and confirm with your office circular. Weekdays were checked against the calendar. Rules last reviewed 9 November 2026.
