Haryana Government Calendar 2027

All twelve months on one page, with Sundays and the holidays that Haryana offices usually observe marked. Print it, or keep it open while you plan leave for the year.

Provisional list. The Haryana Government notifies its own gazetted and restricted holidays around December each year, and the 2027 notification is not out yet. The dates below follow the Central Government list for 2027 (DoPT office memorandum of 16 July 2026), which Haryana largely follows. Haryana adds a few state holidays of its own, so check the official notification when it comes. We will update this page then.

Haryana government calendar 2027, month by month

Here are all twelve months of 2027 on one page. Sundays are shaded red and the holidays that Haryana offices usually observe are marked in blue (or amber where the date comes from the state's own practice). Hover over a marked date, or read the line under each month, to see which holiday it is. Weeks start on Monday, the way most office diaries are laid out.

Holiday list for Haryana government employees, 2027

This table puts every date in one place with the day of the week, so you can see at a glance which holidays cost you a working day and which ones the calendar has already taken away on a Sunday.

The dates of Id-ul-Fitr, Id-ul-Zuha and Muharram depend on the moon, so they can move by a day. Restricted holidays are not listed because the Haryana list has not been published.

Long weekends and planning your year

Of the 17 dates in the table, 15 fall on a day other than Sunday. Sorting them by the day of the week tells you how the year will feel:

• Falling on a Sunday (no extra day off): Independence Day (15 August), Guru Nanak Jayanti (14 November).
• Falling on a Saturday: Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti (2 October), Dussehra (9 October), Christmas Day (25 December). These are lost if your office is already closed that Saturday, and a gain if it works that Saturday.
• Friday holidays (a three-day break with the weekend): Good Friday (26 March), Diwali (29 October).
• Monday holidays: Mahavir Jayanti (19 April), Id-ul-Zuha (Bakrid) (17 May).
• Mid-week holidays (Tuesday to Thursday): Republic Day (26 January), Id-ul-Fitr (10 March), Holi (23 March), Dr B.R. Ambedkar Jayanti (14 April), Ram Navami (15 April), Buddha Purnima (20 May), Muharram (16 June), Janmashtami (25 August).

If you want to stretch a mid-week holiday into a longer break, the usual way is to take a day or two of casual leave on the days between the holiday and the weekend. Plan these early in the year, because the casual leave balance is limited and offices do not like many people being away on the same bridging day. The school holidays page shows the same dates with the Sundays and second Saturdays, which helps families work out when children are home as well.

Gazetted holidays and restricted holidays

A gazetted holiday, also called a public holiday, is declared in the Official Gazette. Government offices stay closed for everyone on that day, and an employee who is on duty by exception, for example in an emergency service, is compensated according to the rules that apply to that service.

A restricted holiday is a smaller, optional category. The notification lists a number of festivals and observances, and each eligible employee may choose a limited number of them in the year to suit their own faith or family custom. Offices do not close for restricted holidays, so you need to apply and have the day approved like any other short leave. The Central list for 2027 carries a long list of restricted holidays, such as Makar Sankranti, Basant Panchami, Maha Shivratri, Raksha Bandhan, Karwa Chauth and Bhai Dooj. The Haryana restricted list will come with the state notification.

How Haryana notifies its holiday list

The Central Government's Department of Personnel and Training issues the Central list in the middle of the year; for 2027 that was the office memorandum of 16 July 2026. Haryana prepares its own list separately, and the notification usually follows towards the end of the year, around December, so that offices and schools can plan the next calendar year. The state list carries the national holidays, the major festivals and a few state-specific days. It also fixes the number of restricted holidays an employee may take.

That is why this page is labelled provisional. The festival dates here come from the Central list, which Haryana largely mirrors, but the state may add or drop a day. When the Haryana notification is published, the table above will be revised, the restricted holidays will be added and the long-weekend notes will be recalculated.

Holidays and your leave

A few practical points keep leave and holidays from tripping you up:

• A holiday that falls on a Sunday does not give you a replacement day. Do not count on one unless the notification says so.
• Before you prefix or suffix holidays to a leave application, check the rules for the kind of leave you are taking. Casual leave, earned leave and other kinds of leave handle intervening holidays differently, so read the leave rule that applies to you, and ask your establishment branch if you are unsure.
• If a gazetted holiday falls on a day you are travelling on tour or working on special duty, the rules of your department decide whether you are compensated.
• For moon-based festivals, keep one eye on the final announcement. Offices usually issue a short order when the date moves by a day.

This calendar is meant to help you plan, not to replace the official notification. When the Haryana list is published, treat that as final.
