Assam Holiday List 2026

The Government of Assam has officially released the Assam Holiday List 2026 through a notification issued by the General Administration Department. The list specifies gazetted holidays, half holidays, holidays under the Negotiable Instrument Act, bank holidays, and restricted holidays applicable for the year 2026. These holidays will be observed by Government offices, Revenue and Magisterial Courts in the state of Assam, subject to the conditions mentioned in the notification.

The Assam Holiday List 2026 will not automatically apply to Educational Institutions, as well as Medical and Engineering Colleges unless they choose to adopt it. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of potentially reducing the number of holidays for these institutions, suggesting the adoption of academic calendars that curtail the number of holidays accordingly.
