## Purpose

Checks a 2026 date against the Department of Personnel and Training central-government holiday schedule, preserving Gazetted and Restricted distinctions.

**Use when:** You need a deterministic 2026 central-government office baseline and can specify Delhi/New Delhi versus outside Delhi.

**Do not use when:** You need a state, Union Territory, bank, employer, school, exchange, or an outside-Delhi locally selected optional-holiday calendar.

## Example user requests

- Is 2026-10-20 a working day for India's central government office in Delhi?
- Is 2026-08-28 a guaranteed closure or only a restricted holiday option outside Delhi?

## Limitations

You need a state, Union Territory, bank, employer, school, exchange, or an outside-Delhi locally selected optional-holiday calendar. Resolve office scope, apply the DoPT Gazetted list, preserve Restricted events, and never infer local state/UT selection. All values are computed from the formula above; no measurement or live data is involved.

## FAQ

**Does a Restricted holiday make every employee's date non-working?**

No. It is an employee option, and outside-Delhi offices also select optional holidays locally.

**Does this provide India's state calendars?**

No. State and Union Territory calendars require their own official packages.
