The Central Sphere Holiday List 2026, issued by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, outlines the official holiday schedule for Central Government offices across India. The document specifies 17 compulsory holidays for offices located in Delhi/New Delhi and provides a framework for selecting three additional holidays from a pool of 12 optional days for offices situated outside Delhi, based on local customs and regional preferences. Additionally, it lists 34 restricted holidays applicable to Delhi-based offices, allowing employees to choose any two. The list includes provisions for holidays dependent on lunar sightings, such as Id-ul-Fitr and Id-ul-Zuha, and clarifies that Diwali may be observed on Naraka Chaturdasi in certain states. Separate guidelines are provided for industrial establishments, Union Territories, Indian Missions abroad, and banks, ensuring consistency while accommodating regional and institutional variations. The holiday schedule aims to balance national observance with cultural sensitivity and administrative flexibility.
