How Tripura holidays apply at work

01

Public holidays

The 33 public holidays are paid days off. National days (Republic, Independence, Gandhi Jayanti) are mandatory everywhere. Durga Puja and Diwali are major state breaks.

02

Tribal festival days

Tripura grants Kharchi Puja, Ker Puja, and Garia Puja, which other states do not. Plan staffing around the July Kharchi Puja and the August Ker Puja.

03

Shops & Establishments rule

Private employers grant paid public holidays per the Tripura 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.
