## Purpose

Checks a date against the Saturday-Sunday weekend baseline and exact 2026-2026 authority events.

**Use when:** You need a deterministic Pakistan Pakistan 2026 nationwide federal public-holiday layer over a Saturday-Sunday federal-office baseline result.

**Do not use when:** This package covers the nationwide federal public-holiday layer only. It is not a universal provincial, territory, private-employer, bank, exchange, school, court, diplomatic-mission or sector calendar. Lunar festival dates are pinned to the later federal notifications available for 2026; conflicting exchange or diplomatic calendars are retained as scoped cross-checks and not generalized.

## Example user requests

- Pakistan: Pakistan Day.
- Pakistan: Ordinary federal working day.

## Limitations

This package covers the nationwide federal public-holiday layer only. It is not a universal provincial, territory, private-employer, bank, exchange, school, court, diplomatic-mission or sector calendar. Lunar festival dates are pinned to the later federal notifications available for 2026; conflicting exchange or diplomatic calendars are retained as scoped cross-checks and not generalized. Apply the pinned authority event table over the declared weekday baseline; do not infer uncovered employer or regional schedules. All values are computed from the formula above; no measurement or live data is involved.

## FAQ

**Does this cover every Pakistan employer or bank?**

No. It is the nationwide federal public-holiday layer. Provinces, banks, exchanges, courts, schools, diplomatic missions and private employers can publish different calendars.

**Why are lunar dates not copied from every calendar?**

The package prioritizes later Cabinet Division festival notifications over the annual estimate and discloses conflicts with exchange or diplomatic calendars.

**Are replacement holidays inferred when a date falls on Sunday?**

No. Only published federal dates are included; no automatic lieu day is invented.
