Holidays and gift giving occasions in India

Due to their philosophies on inclusiveness to all religions, India has an unusually large number of government holidays throughout the year when you may be looking to send gifts to India. These are celebrated by the whole country, while there is another smaller set of holidays celebrated regionally. During these times it’s worth leaving a couple of extra days to make sure that your parcel has more time to be delivered, as parcels are not collected or delivered on public holidays.

We have picked out some of the most popular dates below, but ensure you check that your dates do not overlap with these days and, if they do, factor in some spare time to make sure parcels arrive promptly in India.
