The Jharkhand government has announced the official holiday list for the year 2025, detailing holidays for government offices, banks, schools, colleges, and universities in the state. In 2025, there will be a total of 17 gazetted holidays and 14 public holidays based on the executive order of the Jharkhand Sarkar. Note that holidays that coincide with Sundays do not receive additional designations.
The holiday list is categorized into three types: national holidays declared by the central government, gazetted holidays where all government offices remain closed, and restricted holidays that are optional based on the specific organization or department's choice. State and central government employees in Jharkhand can take up to two holidays from the restricted holiday list each year. Below is the updated Jharkhand holiday list for 2025, including both gazetted and restricted holidays, along with a downloadable Jharkhand Sarkar calendar for 2025.
