Bank Holidays This Week, December 8–14, 2025: Check State-Wise Closures
Banks across several parts of India are set to observe up to four holidays this week, according to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) holiday calendar. While national holidays apply uniformly, many closures this week are due to state-specific events, elections, and weekend rules—meaning not all bank branches across the country will remain closed on the same days.
Why Bank Holidays Differ Across States
Bank holiday schedules in India are determined by three major factors:
- National holidays
- State/region-specific festivals, events, and elections
- Weekend rules (Second & Fourth Saturdays, Sundays)
- Because of this, holiday dates often vary across states.

Banks in Kerala will remain shut due to the Local Government Institutions Election 2025.
