Bank Holidays in December 2025: Banks to be Closed for 19 Days

Nov 24, 2025, 16:47 IST

Banks across India will observe several holidays in December 2025, based on the Reserve Bank of India's holiday schedule. These bank holidays are not the same everywhere—each state has its own list of regional observances. This means banks may be closed in one state but operate normally in another.

The only national holiday in December is Christmas on December 25, when all banks across India will remain closed. On all other dates, holidays apply only to specific cities or states.

Even during a bank holiday, customers can still use digital services such as mobile banking, internet banking, ATMs, and UPI. However, cheque clearing and other in-branch services will not be available.
