Public Holiday Date for Eid-e-Milad Revised to September 8 in Mumbai City and Suburbs
The Maharashtra government has announced a change in the public holiday date for Eid-e-Milad in Mumbai city and suburban districts. Earlier declared on Friday, September 5, the holiday will now be observed on Monday, September 8, 2025.
According to the official circular issued by the General Administration Department, the holiday date was revised following a decision by the Muslim community to hold the traditional Eid-e-Milad procession on September 8 instead of September 6. The change was made to ensure communal harmony and unity across the state, as Anant Chaturdashi, a major Hindu festival, will be celebrated on September 6.
With this revision, all government offices in Mumbai city and suburbs will function normally on September 5, while the official holiday will be observed on September 8. However, in other districts of Maharashtra, the Eid-e-Milad holiday will continue to remain on September 5 as earlier notified.
This adjustment aims to promote peace, brotherhood, and cultural harmony among communities during the festive season.
