**In a earlier press statement on public holidays for 2009, the Ministry of Manpower announced that Deepavali would fall on 15 November 2009 (Sunday). However, the date needed to be checked against the Indian Almanacs when they became available.
The actual Deepavali date for 2009 is now known. It will fall on 17 October 2009 (Saturday) instead of 15 November 2009 (Sunday).
