Replacement Holidays for Sunday Public Holidays

When a gazetted public holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday becomes a replacement public holiday. This ensures you don’t lose a day off. Banks follow this rule strictly.

Examples from 2026:

  • Vesak Day (31 May Sunday) → Off on Monday, 1 June
  • National Day (9 Aug Sunday) → Off on Monday, 10 Aug
  • Deepavali (8 Nov Sunday) → Off on Monday, 9 Nov
