Offices outside Delhi

Applies to Central Government administrative offices in Delhi/New Delhi only. For offices outside Delhi/New Delhi the OM says (para 2): "Central Government Administrative Offices located outside Delhi / New Delhi shall observe the following holidays compulsorily in addition to three holidays, to be chosen out of the 12 optional holidays indicated below at para 3.1". The 14 compulsory holidays are: Republic Day, Independence Day, Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday, Buddha Purnima, Christmas Day, Dussehra (Vijaya Dashmi), Diwali (Deepavali), Good Friday, Guru Nanak's Birthday, Idu'l Fitr, Idu'l Zuha, Mahavir Jayanti, Muharram, Prophet Mohammad's Birthday (Id-e-Milad). Para 3.1: "for the offices located outside Delhi/New Delhi three holidays are to be chosen by the Central Government Employees Welfare Coordination Committee in the State Capitals, if necessary, in consultation with Coordination Committees at other places in the State, from the list indicated below." The 12 optional holidays are: an additional day for Dussehra, Holi, Janamashtami (Vaishnav), Ram Navami, Maha Shivratri, Ganesh Chaturthi/Vinayak Chaturthi, Makar Sankranti, Rath Yatra, Onam, Pongal, Sri Panchami/Basant Panchami, and a 12th item that groups regional new-year and festival days (from Vishu through Karva Chauth; see the OM for the exact names). Para 3.1 continues: "The final list, applicable uniformly to all Central Government offices within the concerned State, shall be notified accordingly and no change can be carried out thereafter." Dates of Id-ul-Fitr, Id-ul-Zuha, Muharram and Id-e-Milad are subject to change with moon sighting; any change is declared by DoPT (para 5.1) after ascertaining from the Government of NCT of Delhi, and may be announced at short notice through PIB, TV, AIR or newspapers (para 5.3). Diwali falls on Friday 29 October 2027 (para 6); where a State observes Naraka Chaturdasi a day earlier as its compulsory Diwali holiday, central offices there may follow that date. Milad-un-Nabi coincides with Independence Day (Sunday 15 Aug 2027). Weekend holidays: Independence Day/Milad-un-Nabi (Sun), Gandhi Jayanti (Sat), Dussehra (Sat), Guru Nanak's Birthday (Sun), Christmas (Sat).
