2026 Working Days Calendar for Delhi, India
Legal Regulations
Holidays in India are legislated at the union or state level. The Union Government declares national and central government holidays, which include mandatory Gazetted holidays and optional Restricted holidays for employees. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sets the schedule for bank holidays, which are also governed by the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. Banks are closed on all second and fourth Saturdays of the month.
News
For 2026, banks will remain closed for state-specific holidays from 18-20 February. The RBI cancelled the bank holiday for 31 March 2026 (Mahavir Jayanti) in several states to ensure proper year-end accounting. Online banking services like RTGS and NEFT remain available 24/7 despite physical bank closures.
Insights
India's holiday system reflects its cultural diversity, with numerous regional and religious festivals observed. Banks used to work half-days on all Saturdays before the current rule of being closed on the second and fourth Saturdays. If a month has five Saturdays, the fifth Saturday is a working day. The list of Restricted Holidays allows employees to choose days off based on personal or religious preferences.
