Printable 2027 calendar India with holidays

A 2027 calendar for India with the central government gazetted holidays, optional restricted holidays, and Saka or Hijri dates, on A4 or any paper size. The PDF is made in your browser, and your entries are not saved or sent.

January for a calendar year; any other month gives 12 months from that month, for example a September to August school or club year.

Layout

A4 is the usual UK size. US Letter, Legal, Tabloid and Half Letter are for printers in the US and Canada.

Orientation
Week starts on
Colour theme: Teal

Large print has bigger numbers and thicker lines. Ink saver prints outlines only, with no shaded boxes.

Hijri dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar; local moon sighting can differ by a day. Ramadan and the Eids are marked as expected.

Saka dates follow the Indian National Calendar (in use since 22 March 1957): 1 Chaitra falls on 22 March, or 21 March in a leap year. Hijri or Saka, one at a time.

ISO 8601: weeks run Monday to Sunday and week 1 is the week with the year's first Thursday, so 1 to 3 January can be in week 52 or 53. US style: weeks run Sunday to Saturday and week 1 is the week with January 1.

More options

On pages with one month per page.

The working week of the holidays chosen (Monday to Friday unless the country has another weekend), minus the public holidays shown.

Shown with UK bank holidays, by the rule for that country.

Worked out with Jean Meeus's astronomical formulas and checked against the US Naval Observatory. Dated in UTC, so in your time zone a date can be a day earlier or later.

Holiday names stay in English, their official names.

Your own events, picture and font

An event on 29 February that repeats every year is shown on 28 February in years that are not leap years.

    How to make your 2027 calendar for India

    1. Choose the holidays. Gazetted holidays shades the 17 compulsory holidays of central government offices in Delhi and New Delhi. Gazetted and restricted holidays also lists the 32 restricted holidays in grey, without shading, because they are optional.
    2. Choose a layout. The whole year on one page, two pages (January to June and July to December), 4 or 3 months per page, or 12 monthly pages in landscape with large boxes to write in.
    3. Set the details. A4 is the default paper; A3, A5 and the US sizes are there too, in portrait or landscape. The week starts on Sunday by default; choose Monday under Week starts on if you prefer. Tick Saka dates or Hijri dates to add a second date in small figures in each box. You can also pick one of seven colour themes, black and white, large print or ink saver, week numbers, and an optional title such as a family, school or office name.
    4. Select Download PDF. The PDF is made in your browser in a second or two. Nothing is uploaded, and your entries are not saved or sent. Print opens the same PDF in a new tab instead.

    The preview on this page is drawn by the same layout as the PDF, so what you see is what prints. Each gazetted holiday is shaded on its day and listed under its month. Saturdays and Sundays are shaded lightly, as central government offices work a five-day week.

    Central government holidays 2027 (gazetted holidays)

    These are the 17 holidays of Annexure I of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) office memorandum F. No. 12/2/2023-JCA dated 16 July 2026, Holidays to be observed in Central Government Offices during the year 2027. They apply to all administrative offices of the Central Government in Delhi and New Delhi. The Saka date is the date in the Indian National Calendar, as printed in the official list.

    Independence Day and Milad-un-Nabi both fall on Sunday 15 August 2027. In all, 6 holidays fall on a weekend: Independence Day (Sunday 15 August), Milad-un-Nabi or Id-e-Milad (Sunday 15 August), Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday (Saturday 2 October), Dussehra (Vijaya Dashmi) (Saturday 9 October), Guru Nanak's Birthday (Sunday 14 November), Christmas Day (Saturday 25 December). The memorandum says no extra day is given for them:

    No substitute holiday should be allowed if any of the festival holidays, initially declared, subsequently happens to fall on a weekly off or any other non-working day.DoPT O.M. dated 16 July 2026, paragraph 3.2

    The dates of Id-ul-Fitr (Wednesday 10 March 2027), Id-ul-Zuha or Bakrid (Monday 17 May 2027), Muharram (Wednesday 16 June 2027) and Milad-un-Nabi can be changed after the moon is sighted. For Delhi offices the Ministry of Personnel announces any change, sometimes at short notice through PIB, television, All India Radio or newspapers. In 2026, for example, DoPT moved Bakrid from 27 to 28 May by an order of 22 May 2026.

    Restricted holidays 2027

    Restricted holidays are optional. Offices stay open, and each employee may take any two of them in the year. This is the list for central government offices in Delhi and New Delhi (Annexure II of the same memorandum). Choose Gazetted and restricted holidays to print them on the calendar in grey, marked "(restricted)".

    Holidays outside Delhi and in the states

    India has no single national list of public holidays. Central Government offices follow the yearly DoPT list: the holidays below are those of the administrative offices in Delhi and New Delhi. Offices in other states keep 14 compulsory holidays and add 3 chosen in each state capital, and each state government declares its own holidays.

    The memorandum names the 14 holidays that every central government administrative office keeps: Republic Day, Independence Day, Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday, Buddha Purnima, Christmas Day, Dussehra (Vijaya Dashmi), Diwali (Deepavali), Good Friday, Guru Nanak's Birthday, Id-ul-Fitr, Id-ul-Zuha, Mahavir Jayanti, Muharram and Prophet Mohammad's Birthday (Id-e-Milad). The other 3 are chosen from a list of 12 (such as Holi, Janmashtami, Ram Navami, Maha Shivratri, Ganesh Chaturthi, Makar Sankranti, Rath Yatra, Onam and Pongal): for Delhi, DoPT chose Holi, Ram Navami and Janmashtami (Vaishnav).

    Offices in a state capital and the rest of that state use the list of the Central Government Employees Welfare Coordination Committee there, so their 3 extra holidays can differ. State government offices, schools and private employers follow the holidays declared by their state government. Industrial, commercial and trading establishments of the Central Government may keep up to 16 holidays a year, always including Republic Day, Independence Day and Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday.

    This calendar prints the Delhi and New Delhi list. If you are in another state, add your own holidays under Your own events, picture and font, and they are printed in their day boxes.

    Are bank holidays the same?

    No. The memorandum says that for banks "the holidays shall be regulated in terms of the extant instructions issued by the Department of Financial Services". Bank holidays are declared state by state under the Negotiable Instruments Act, and the Reserve Bank of India publishes them on its Holidays page. On 15 October 2026 that page offered years up to 2026 only, so the 2027 bank holidays are not out yet and are not on this calendar. The RBI page also says that all scheduled and non-scheduled banks close on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month.

    Saka dates: the Indian National Calendar

    Tick Saka dates to print the date of the Indian National Calendar in small figures in each day's box, and the Saka months under each month's name. It is the date printed beside the Gregorian date in official documents such as the DoPT holiday lists. It was introduced from 22 March 1957, which was 1 Chaitra 1879 Saka Era, and it keeps a fixed link with the Gregorian calendar.

    • New year: 1 Chaitra is 22 March, or 21 March in a leap year.
    • Months: Chaitra has 30 days (31 in a leap year), Vaisakha to Bhadra have 31 days each, and Asvina to Phalguna 30 days each.
    • Year number: the Saka year is the Gregorian year minus 78 from 1 Chaitra, and minus 79 before it. A Saka year is a leap year when the Gregorian year it starts in is one.

    So 1 January 2027 is 11 Pausha 1948, and Saka year 1949 begins on Monday 22 March 2027. The months that begin in 2027:

    Saka monthBegins onLength

    1 Agrahayana 1949Monday 22 November 202730 days
    1 Pausha 1949Wednesday 22 December 202730 days

    The calendar works these dates out from the rules of the Positional Astronomy Centre of the India Meteorological Department, and they match the Saka dates printed in the DoPT holiday list for 2027. Saka dates follow the Indian National Calendar (in use since 22 March 1957): 1 Chaitra falls on 22 March, or 21 March in a leap year. Saka and Hijri dates use the same small figures, so you can print one or the other.

    Hijri dates on the calendar

    Tick Hijri dates to add the Islamic date in small figures in each box and the Hijri months under each month's name. Your browser works them out with the Umm al-Qura calendar. Hijri dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar; local moon sighting can differ by a day.

    With the option on, the start of Ramadan and the two Eids are added as expected dates. By the Umm al-Qura calendar, Eid al-Fitr is expected on Tuesday 9 March 2027 and Eid al-Adha on Sunday 16 May 2027, a day before the Indian holidays on Wednesday 10 March 2027 and Monday 17 May 2027. That is normal: in India the dates follow the moon as seen in India, so the shaded holiday is the one to plan by.

    How to print at actual size

    The calendar has margins of at least half an inch (12.7 mm) on every side, because most home printers cannot print right to the edge. In the print dialog choose the same paper as the calendar (A4 unless you changed it) and set Scale to 100% or Actual size. Turn off "Fit to page" or "Shrink to fit", which change the size of the boxes and the margins.

    Questions and answers

    How many gazetted holidays are there in 2027?

    17, for central government offices in Delhi and New Delhi, by the DoPT office memorandum of 16 July 2026. 6 of them fall on a Saturday or Sunday and are not moved to a weekday.

    When is Diwali 2027?

    The central government holiday for Diwali (Deepavali) is on Friday 29 October 2027 (Kartika 7 in the Saka calendar). The memorandum allows offices in states that keep Naraka Chaturdasi as their only Diwali holiday to close on that day instead.

    What is the difference between gazetted and restricted holidays?

    Gazetted holidays are compulsory: central government offices close. Restricted holidays are optional: offices stay open and each employee may take any 2 of the 32 on the list.

    Does this calendar show my state's holidays?

    No. It shows the central government list for Delhi and New Delhi. Each state declares its own holidays, and central government offices in a state add 3 holidays chosen there. You can add your own holidays as events under Your own events before you print.

    Are bank holidays for 2027 included?

    No. Banks follow separate state-wise lists published by the Reserve Bank of India, and the 2027 lists were not published when we checked on 15 October 2026. Banks also close on the second and fourth Saturdays.

    Why does the week start on Sunday?

    Sunday is our default for this calendar. Choose Monday under Week starts on and the whole calendar, including the PDF, starts each week on Monday.

    What is the Saka calendar?

    The Indian National Calendar, in official use since 22 March 1957. Its year starts on 1 Chaitra, which is 22 March, or 21 March in a leap year, and 2027 runs from 11 Pausha 1948 to 10 Pausha 1949.

    Can I print the 2028 calendar for India?

    Not with holidays yet. DoPT published the 2026 and 2027 lists in July of the year before. Until then a 2028 calendar prints without India holidays and says so on the page.

    Is my calendar saved or uploaded anywhere?

    No. The calendar and the PDF are made in your browser on your own device. Your options and title are not saved or sent.
