Gujarat Public Holidays 2024

Public holidays in Gujarat are governed by the Personnel Division of the General Administration Department of the Government of Gujarat. These holidays include a mix of national and regional celebrations that reflect the diverse culture of the state. In Gujarat, there are three main lists of holidays: General Holidays, Optional Holidays, and Bank Holidays.

Government offices close on General Holidays, which include notable days like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s birthday, Shree Ram Navmi, and Guru Nanak’s birthday. Government employees may choose two Optional Holidays, with paid time off for days like Yom Kippur, Boxing Day, and Onam.

Additionally, Bank Holidays ensure that all banks are closed, with employees given the day off. Important Bank Holidays include Republic Day, Raksha Bandhan, and Bhai Bij.

Furthermore, Christmas and Good Friday are declared public holidays in Gujarat. If a Muslim holiday does not align with the government-authorised date, public employees can opt for an alternative holiday.
