2. The date, 5 November 2010, for Deepavali needs to be checked against the Indian Almanac when it is available. Should there be a change in date, the Ministry of Manpower will issue a press release to announce the change.

REMINDER ON CHANGE OF DATE FOR DEEPAVALI 2009 TO 17 OCTOBER 2009

4. The Ministry would like to remind the public that Deepavali this year will fall on Saturday 17 October 2009 instead of Sunday 15 November 2009. Since Deepavali is no longer on 15 November 2009 (Sunday), 16 November 2009 (Monday) will not be a public holiday. Instead, 17 October 2009 will be gazetted as a public holiday.
