How Telangana holidays apply at work
01
Public holidays
The 27 public holidays are paid days off. National days (Republic, Independence, Gandhi Jayanti) are mandatory everywhere. Telangana Formation Day and Dasara are major state breaks.
02
State festival days
Telangana grants Bonalu and Bathukamma, which neighbouring states do not. Plan staffing around the August Bonalu and the October Bathukamma plus Dasara cluster.
03
Shops & Establishments rule
Private employers grant paid public holidays per the Telangana Shops and Establishments Act and policy. Typical practice is 12 to 15 paid holidays plus weekly offs.
04
Lunar date shifts
Id-ul-Fitr, Bakrid, Muharram, and Eid Milad-un-Nabi depend on moon sighting and can move by a day. Update payroll if the state revises a date.
