About Republic Day
National holiday commemorating the adoption of the Constitution of India in 1950.
This page is the 2024-specific edition: it shows the actual weekday, the observed date if a weekend rule applies, and the placement of the holiday inside the India fiscal year that contains it. For the canonical, year-agnostic overview see the main Republic Day page.
2024 weekday and observance
In 2024, Republic Day falls on Friday, January 26. Friday holidays produce three-day weekends without affecting the early-week rhythm. Banking value dates for any cleared transaction slip to the following Monday.
No weekend-shift rule applies in 2024 because the holiday falls on a regular weekday. Both the calendar date and the observed date are Friday, January 26, 2024. Treat it as a non-working day in payroll, vendor payment scheduling, and any business-day calculation that drives accruals or settlement.
Where it lands in FY2023
For organisations on the India fiscal calendar, Republic Day 2024 sits in fiscal month 10 (FM10), inside quarter Q4 of FY2023. From this date, you have approximately 65 days remaining until fiscal year-end on March 31, 2024. That distance matters because year-end close planning typically begins 60 to 90 days out — meaning if FYE is within that window, this holiday already sits inside the close-planning runway and any client-facing or vendor-facing deadlines that touch it should be pre-cleared rather than rescheduled later.

Operational impact for finance teams
For finance and operations teams, Republic Day 2024 reduces the working-day count for FM10 by one. If the holiday falls within two business days of a fiscal month-end, expect downstream impact on accrual timing (revenue cutoff, inventory counts, AP cutoffs) and on banking value dates. Wire transfers and ACH/Faster Payments typically settle the next business day; international wires may slip two days when both origin and destination observe the holiday. See our guide on mapping holidays to fiscal months for a worked example of folding observance dates into the close calendar.
If your business operates payroll on a biweekly cadence aligned to the OPM federal schedule, check the 2024 pay period schedule for the pay period containing this date — the payday for that period may shift to the preceding business day.
