Arunachal Pradesh 2026
Government, Bank & Pooja Holidays List

 Yes. Arunachal Pradesh Statehood Day, observed on 20 February, is a government holiday in the state.

 The total may vary by notification, but Arunachal Pradesh typically observes 25–30 public and regional holidays annually.

 Not always. Bank holidays follow the Negotiable Instruments Act, while government holidays apply to state offices and institutions.

 Most private organisations follow the state government holiday list with minor customisations.

The most significant restricted holidays for local tribes include Si-Donyi (Tagin), Nyokum (Nyishi), Mopin (Galo), Solung (Adi), Reh (Idu Mishmi), and Losar (Monpa).

Solung (usually observed on September 1st) is typically listed as a Restricted Holiday or a Local Holiday in specific districts (like East Siang and West Siang), though it is widely observed by the Adi community.

Yes. greytHR automatically applies state-specific holiday calendars, manages leave policies, and ensures accurate payroll processing for Arunachal Pradesh.

Festivals such as Nyokum, Mopin, Dree, Solung, Si-Donyi and Losar are specific to Arunachal’s indigenous communities and rarely appear on other state lists. Several are notified as district-level holidays where the celebrating tribe is concentrated.

Indigenous Faith Day on 1 December honours the native belief systems of Arunachal’s tribes, including Donyi-Polo. It is a state holiday and reflects the government’s recognition of indigenous religious traditions.

No. Each state gets its own Negotiable Instruments Act holiday notification. Arunachal’s list carries local festivals like Nyokum, while Assam’s includes Bihu and Me-Dam-Me-Phi, so closures differ even between neighbouring branches.

Not always. Some tribal festivals are notified only for the districts where that community predominates, so a working day in Itanagar can be a holiday in Ziro or Tawang. Always check the district-wise notification.
