West Bengal Holiday: The Government of West Bengal has announced a half-day holiday for state government employees on Tuesday, July 1st, 2025, to mark Doctors’ Day. The day is celebrated to commemorate the birth anniversary of the former Chief Minister of West Bengal, the late Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. This decision was announced via a memorandum issued by the Finance Department (Audit Branch).
Timings and Reason for the Holiday
According to the official memorandum, offices under the Government of West Bengal will be closed at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, July 1st, 2025. This day is celebrated every year as Doctors’ Day to commemorate the birth anniversary of the late Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. The memorandum confirms that, like in previous years, the day will be celebrated accordingly.
Which Offices are Exempted?
However, this half-day holiday directive is not applicable to all government offices. The government memorandum explicitly states that two specific offices are excluded from this closure. They are:
- The Office of the Registrar of Assurances, Kolkata
- The Office of the Collector of Stamp Revenue, Kolkata
These two offices will continue to function as per their regular schedule.
Therefore, state government employees in West Bengal can look forward to a short break on July 1st, providing some mid-week relief and an opportunity to observe this significant day.
