The calendar used across most of the world today, including India for official and business purposes, is the Gregorian calendar — a solar calendar introduced in 1582 to correct small drifts that had built up in the earlier Julian calendar over centuries. A standard year has 365 days across 12 months, with an extra day added in February every leap year to keep the calendar aligned with Earth's orbit around the sun, which takes slightly more than 365 days.
