Frequently Asked Questions about Rajasthan Calendar
What is the official source of the Rajasthan Government Calendar 2026?
The annual calendar and official holiday schedules are published by the General Administration Department (Group-6), Government Secretariat, Jaipur through an official state gazette notification.
What is the difference between a Gazetted Holiday and a Restricted Holiday in Rajasthan?
Gazetted holidays are notified public holidays for the applicable Rajasthan Government offices and establishments covered by the official notification. Restricted (optional) holidays are elective observances from which an employee may select a maximum of two days per calendar year.
How many restricted holidays can a Rajasthan government employee avail in 2026?
Under Rajasthan Service Rules (RSR), each state government employee is eligible to avail up to a maximum of two (2) restricted holidays per calendar year from the notified schedule.
Are bank holidays in Rajasthan identical to government gazetted holidays?
Bank holidays are governed separately under Section 25 of the Negotiable Instruments (N.I.) Act, 1881 in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India. While national festivals overlap, certain state-specific civil holidays apply only to civil administrative offices.
What happens if a gazetted holiday falls on a Sunday or Saturday?
When a gazetted holiday falls on a scheduled weekend day (Sunday or non-working Saturday), no additional compensatory day-off is granted. In 2026, Devnarayan Jayanti (Jan 25) and Deepawali (Nov 8) fall on Sundays.
