Bank Holidays in December 2025: Full State-Wise RBI Holiday List
Bank holidays across India are fixed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in accordance with the Negotiable Instruments Act, RTGS norms, and various national and regional observances. In December 2025, the holiday schedule features a mix of religious festivals, state-specific occasions, and nationwide weekly offs that will lead to multiple bank closures during the month.
Along with declared festivals and regional holidays, banks across the country will remain shut on all Sundays and on the second and fourth Saturdays, as per standard banking rules. Customers who rely on branch-based services should take note of these dates to avoid last-minute inconvenience.
Total Bank Holidays in December 2025
As per the RBI’s official holiday calendar for the 2025 financial year, banks will observe a total of 18 holidays across different states and union territories in December. Since not all holidays apply nationwide, closures will vary depending on the location of the bank branch.
