Arunachal Pradesh Holidays 2026

The exact count shifts a little from one notification to the next, but Arunachal Pradesh generally sees somewhere between 25 and 30 public and regional holidays across the year.

They overlap but aren't identical: bank closures come from the Negotiable Instruments Act, while government holidays cover state offices and institutions on their own separate list.

Most do, though many private employers tweak the state list slightly to fit their own operations.

Si-Donyi (observed by the Tagin), Nyokum (Nyishi), Mopin (Galo), Solung (Adi), Reh (Idu Mishmi) and Losar (Monpa) are the restricted holidays that carry the most weight for their respective communities.

Solung, usually falling on September 1st, is generally classed as a Restricted or Local Holiday in specific districts such as East Siang and West Siang, even though the Adi community observes it widely beyond those district lines.

Yes, Niyuk builds Arunachal Pradesh's own calendar into its leave policies and payroll runs automatically, without manual setup on your end.

Nyokum, Mopin, Dree, Solung, Si-Donyi and Losar belong to Arunachal's indigenous communities and almost never show up on another state's list. A number of them are notified only in the districts where the relevant tribe lives.

Falling on 1 December, Indigenous Faith Day honors native belief systems such as Donyi-Polo. The state government created the holiday specifically to recognize these indigenous religious traditions.

No, each state receives its own separate Negotiable Instruments Act notification. Arunachal's includes local festivals like Nyokum, Assam's includes Bihu and Me-Dam-Me-Phi instead, so even neighboring branches can close on different days.

No, not every district follows an identical list. Some tribal festivals are notified only where that community is concentrated, meaning a normal working day in Itanagar might be a holiday in Ziro or Tawang, so it's worth checking the district-wise notification directly.
