On December 17, 2024, the Government of Uttar Pradesh officially notified the Uttar Pradesh State List of Holidays for 2025, outlining the key dates and guidelines for public and restricted holidays across the state.
Key Details of the Notification:
- Public Holidays for 2025: A comprehensive list of public holidays has been released, detailing the official holidays that will be observed by government offices, institutions, and other public services throughout the year.
- Restricted Holidays for 2025: The notification also includes a list of restricted holidays. These are holidays that employees can take based on their personal choice or organizational policies but are not mandatory for all.
- Annual Accounting Date for Banks: Special mention is made of the Annual Accounting Date for Banks, which will be applicable to all banks, treasuries, and sub-treasuries across the state. This date is significant for financial record-keeping and operations.
- Holidays Under Executive Orders: The notification also lists holidays declared under Executive Orders, applicable to various departments and offices. However, it specifies that in offices of the Head of Departments and other departments where a five-day working week is in place, these holidays, along with any local holidays declared by District Magistrates, will not be applicable.
Important Note for Employees:
For those working in government offices with a five-day working week, the holidays declared through executive orders and any local holidays mandated by District Magistrates will not be observed. This ensures a streamlined holiday schedule for such employees and avoids any confusion regarding local or additional holidays.
This holiday list is essential for government employees and businesses in Uttar Pradesh, allowing them to plan their operations and attendance accordingly in the year 2025.
