Hyderabad: The Telangana Government has announced the list of General and Optional Holidays for 2025 for all State Government offices.
The holidays, listed in Annexure-I, will include festivals that may fall on Sundays. Additionally, Optional Holidays are available for certain festivals as detailed in Annexure-II, even if they fall on a Sunday.
All State offices will be closed on Sundays and the second Saturdays of each month. However, February 8, 2025, will be a working day instead of January 15, 2025, which is a public holiday.
State government employees can take up to five Optional Holidays in 2025, regardless of their religion. They must apply for these holidays in advance.
Separate holiday guidelines will be issued for schools, public sector organizations, and public works staff. If certain holidays, like Idu’l Fitar or Muharram, change due to moon sighting, updates will be announced on TV and in newspapers.
