The Government of Kerala, via official notification G.O.(P) No.14/2025/GAD, has released the finalized list of public holidays for the calendar year 2026. This announcement is crucial for all businesses, public sector undertakings, and financial institutions operating within the state, as timely compliance with these directives is a legal requirement under relevant labour and industrial laws.
The state cabinet approved the comprehensive list, which includes a notable addition for the banking sector: Maundy Thursday has been officially included as a holiday under the Negotiable Instruments (NI) Act, meaning all banks and financial institutions in Kerala will observe a closure on that day.
