- These are the days Telangana declared public holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, as the Reserve Bank of India lists them for its Hyderabad office. A holiday that falls on a Sunday is not in the list, since banks are closed that day anyway.
- State government offices may also close on restricted (optional) holidays, which employees choose from a separate list. Private employers give paid holidays under the state's own rules on national and festival holidays, and pick the rest from days like these.
