> 📌 *Note*: Some festival dates (especially Islamic holidays) may vary based on moon sightings. ([PublicHolidays.in][1])

Important notes

  • Some festivals, especially Islamic holidays (Eid‑ul‑Fitr, Eid‑ul‑Adha, Muharram, Milad‑un‑Nabi), are finally observed as per the moon sighting and may shift by a day versus the projected dates above; state notifications usually include this caveat and banks follow the declared date.​
  • Several Rajasthan government 2026 holidays fall on Sundays (for example, Deonarayan Jayanti, Maha Shivaratri, Parashuram Jayanti, World Tribal Day, Navratri Sthapana, and Diwali), which still count as notified public holidays but do not create an extra working‑day closure. —
  • All Sundays and 2nd & 4th Saturdays are Bank Holidays under the explanation to section 25 of the Negotiable Instrument Act 1881. (This holiday rule is applicable to all commercial and co-operative banks operating in entire India). If any of the holidays for the festivals of Muslim fraternity notified above does not fall on the date notified, the holiday date may be altered by the concerned government or the community fraternity in government service may be granted special  holidays on the date observable.
