The Kerala government has released its complete public holiday calendar for 2027, providing clarity to central government employees and offices across the state on scheduled days off and optional holidays.
According to the official notification, central government offices in Kerala will recognize 17 mandatory public holidays during 2027. These dates mark national and state-level observances when government institutions remain closed and employees are entitled to take the day off.
In addition to the fixed public holidays, the notification grants employees access to 48 restricted holidays from which they can select days off based on their individual needs and preferences. This flexible approach allows workers to balance official closure dates with personal requirements while maintaining government office operations.
The holiday calendar is designed to accommodate both national observances and Kerala-specific festivals and commemorative days. State and central government employees can use the restricted holiday list to plan leave around important personal, religious, or community events.
The release of the comprehensive holiday schedule enables government departments, employees, and the public to plan activities and official work accordingly throughout the calendar year.
