Which holiday list applies?
The office-closure rows reproduce the scope of DoPT Annexure I: administrative offices of the Central Government in Delhi / New Delhi. State-government offices, schools, employers and banks have their own schedules. A festival row identifies an observance reference rather than an instruction to close.
Holi illustrates the distinction: the festival reference uses 22 March 2027, while the DoPT office closure is on 23 March. Dates for Eid, Muharram and Milad retain the announcement provisions in the order. A change to an institutional notice is recorded separately from a calendar estimate.
The bank checker identifies weekly closures and links regional verification. Exchange holidays use exchange-specific notices, including any special trading session. Keep those schedules alongside the annual list when planning a trip or a deadline.
