Holiday notification and employer guidance
Bihar’s General Administration Department issued notification 19063 on 15 October 2026 for calendar year 2027. The order separates executive holidays, optional/restricted holidays, Negotiable Instruments Act holidays and annual bank-account closing.
Four schedules in the order
| Schedule | Purpose |
|---|---|

| II | Optional/restricted list; eligible state staff may take up to three |
| III | Public holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act framework |
| IV | Annual bank-account closing |
Use the attached official schedules for individual dates. Keeping the schedules distinct avoids carrying a bank-only or optional entry into a general office-closure calendar.
Employer action
- Identify whether the calendar is for a state office, court, bank or private establishment and select the relevant legal source.
- Record optional selections separately from compulsory closures and maintain the approval trail for employee choices.
- Save the signed order with the 2027 calendar and check for later corrigenda before communicating final dates.
