How the working week works in India

Working week: Monday to Friday or Monday to Saturday
Weekend: Sunday, often plus Saturday

India has no single national weekend pattern. Government offices close Saturday and Sunday, banks close on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, and plenty of private businesses still run six days. Holiday observance also varies by state, so the national list here is a floor, not a ceiling.
