india public holiday 2025

As of today, Friday, June 6, 2025, the Government of India has not declared any nationwide public holiday. A message that circulated widely on social media falsely asserted that the government had announced a nationwide public holiday on this date in connection with Bakrid celebrations. However, this assertion has been disproven, and no official announcement regarding such a public holiday has been made.

Eid-ul-Adha (Bakrid) is set to be celebrated on Saturday, June 7, 2025, contingent upon the sighting of the moon. Therefore, it is anticipated that most government offices, schools, colleges, and educational institutions will be closed on that day. However, on Friday, June 6, 2025, banks in Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi will be closed, while the majority of other banks throughout India will observe the holiday on June 7. The Indian stock market (NSE and BSE) will be operational on June 6 but will be closed on June 7 due to the weekly off, rather than for the festival.

In Kerala, the government initially designated June 6 as a holiday for Eid-ul-Zuha but subsequently changed the decision to June 7 following a delay in moon sighting. Consequently, June 6 will be a regular working day for government offices, while educational institutions, including professional colleges, have been granted holidays on both June 6 and 7.

Thus, unless specific directives have been issued by your local authorities, June 6, 2025, will be a regular working day for most institutions across India.
