2024 Public Holidays & Working Days in India
Complete 2024 public holidays, weekend rules, working day count, and monthly calendar for India.
India has 248 working days and 15 public holidays in 2024, with a Saturday – Sunday weekend. Banks and logistics typically suspend during public holidays.
India operates on UTC+5.5 with standard business hours 10:00–19:00 and a saturday – sunday weekend. In 2024, there are 248 standard working days and 15 public holidays, with no makeup workdays scheduled. For cross-border trade and logistics professionals, note that banks suspend clearing, customs clearance pauses, and port operations halt during public holidays — potentially delaying payment settlement by 1–3 business days and increasing container detention fees. When scheduling shipments, letter-of-credit presentations, or international meetings, avoid India's non-working days and confirm operating windows around 2024 holidays with local agents in advance.
⚠️ Numerous Regional Holidays
Beyond national holidays, Indian states observe many regional holidays (e.g., Diwali dates vary by state). This calendar lists national holidays; combine with state holidays of your business location for actual working days.
