India Gazetted holiday
How working days are calculated
We count every date from today to 31 December, including both. Each date goes into exactly one bucket: a weekend day, a gazetted holiday that falls on a weekday, or a working day. That way no date is ever subtracted twice.
Working hours are simply working days × hours per day. Use the 8h selector above to match your contract.
Gazetted holidays rules
India has no single national holiday calendar: state governments, banks and private employers each set their own. We use the closed (gazetted) holidays for Central Government offices in Delhi/New Delhi, published each year by the Department of Personnel & Training. Restricted holidays, which employees choose themselves, aren't counted.
Holidays that fall on a weekend are not moved. The calculator assumes a Monday–Friday week; many workplaces also work some or all Saturdays, which would add working days.

Frequently asked questions
How many working days are left this year in India?
There are 65 working days left in 2026 in India, counting from today (Saturday, 26 September 2026) to 31 December inclusive. That is 97 days in total, minus 28 weekend days and 4 gazetted holidays falling on weekdays.
Are gazetted holidays included in working days?
No. Any gazetted holiday that falls on a weekday is removed from the working days total. A holiday on a Saturday or Sunday is already a weekend day, so it isn't subtracted again; where the rules give a substitute weekday, that weekday is removed instead.
Are Saturdays and Sundays working days?
No. The calculator uses a Monday–Friday working week for India, so Saturdays and Sundays are counted as weekend days. If you work weekends or shifts, your own total will differ.
How are working hours calculated?
Working hours = working days × hours per day. At 8 hours a day that is 520 hours. Change the hours-per-day setting above to match your contract.
Which holidays are counted for India?
The 17 closed (gazetted) holidays for Central Government offices in Delhi/New Delhi, as listed by the Department of Personnel & Training. Your state government, bank or employer may observe a different list, and restricted holidays aren't included.
Which date counts as "today"?
Today is the current date in India (Asia/Kolkata time), not your device's date, so the figures change at local midnight there. Today is included in the count, but only as a working day if it is one.
