Tripura Holiday 2026: Tripura Bank Holiday List

Tripura observes 23 declared bank holidays in 2026 under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, as notified by the State Government. The state's holiday calendar reflects its unique blend of Bengali, tribal, Hindu, Christian, and Muslim community traditions. Tripura Gramin Bank and all other scheduled banks in the state follow the same RBI-notified holiday list, observing all gazetted holidays plus Sundays and the second and fourth Saturdays of every month.

Tripura Gramin Bank is a Regional Rural Bank (RRB) headquartered in Agartala, operating across Tripura's rural and semi-urban areas. Like all scheduled banks, Tripura Gramin Bank follows the RBI's Negotiable Instruments Act holiday calendar for Tripura, which covers all national holidays, gazetted state holidays, and the mandatory 2nd and 4th Saturday closures.

Tripura's Unique Holidays

Biju Festival (14 April): The Chakma New Year, observed by the Chakma tribal community with traditional dances, bathing rituals, and community feasts. It is a gazetted state holiday on the same day as Ambedkar Jayanti.

Kharchi Puja (21 July 2026, Tuesday): One of the most significant festivals in Tripura, involving the worship of the Fourteen Gods (Chaturdasha Devata) over several days in Agartala's Old Agartala area. It draws large crowds and is a gazetted bank holiday in Tripura.

Kazi Nazrul Islam Jayanti (26 May 2026): Commemorates the birth anniversary of the "rebel poet" of Bengal, Kazi Nazrul Islam, deeply revered in both Tripura and West Bengal.

Rabindra Jayanti (9 May 2026): The birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, a gazetted holiday in Tripura that reflects the state's strong Bengali cultural influence.

Ker Puja: A unique restricted-area holiday where Agartala and specific notified areas observe a complete closure (including banks) for a traditional tribal ritual. The exact date varies annually.
