Jharkhand sarkar ki teen tarah ki chhuttiyan
- Anusuchi-1 · NI Act, 1881 — gazetted holidays that close government offices and banks: Holi, Sarhul, Eid, Karma, Durga Puja, Chhath, Birsa Munda Jayanti and the national days.
- Anusuchi-2 · Karyapalak aadesh — executive-order holidays that close state and revenue offices but not banks, such as Sohrai, Netaji Jayanti, Vishwakarma Puja and Bhai Dooj.
- Anusuchi-3 · Bank lekha bandi — 1 April, when only banks close for annual accounts.
The gazette also notes that the Secretariat and attached offices follow a five-day week while field offices work six days, and that Muslim festival dates may change with the sighting of the moon. Optional (restricted) holidays are notified separately.
