How it works
Business days are Monday through Friday that are not listed public holidays for India. Saturdays and Sundays are counted as weekend days and are always excluded.
Public holidays come from a simplified national calendar for 2025. Regional observances, employer-specific closures, and substitute-day rules may differ from official sources. For a custom date range, use the Business Days Calculator linked below.
Examples
In 2025, India has 365 calendar days. After removing 104 weekend days and weekday public holidays in our list, 256 business days remain.
Weekends vs business days
104 weekend days are excluded automatically. Only Monday–Friday dates outside the holiday list count toward business days.
Holiday on a weekday
Each listed public holiday that falls on a weekday reduces the business-day total by one. Holidays on Saturday or Sunday are listed but do not reduce business days beyond the weekend count.
