List of Bank Holidays in December 2025

Last Updated: December 8, 2025 1:04 pm (IST) | Author: Lokesh Singh | Categories: Festivals

Banks in India will remain closed for up to 13 days in December 2025, including all Sundays, second and fourth Saturdays, and select state-specific holidays such as Christmas and regional observances. Since bank holidays vary by state, customers are advised to check the holiday list carefully to plan branch visits, financial transactions, and business operations without disruption.

Bank holidays are officially designated days when banks across India pause in-branch operations, following directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). These holidays are announced in advance under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, together with RBI’s yearly holiday schedule and separate notifications released by individual state governments. Since India celebrates a wide variety of festivals and observes region-specific customs, bank holidays are not the same everywhere. While a few holidays are observed nationwide, many apply only to selected states depending on local events, cultural traditions, or special occasions.

Being aware of bank holidays in advance plays an important role in managing personal and professional finances. Whether you’re planning to visit a bank branch, process salary payments, schedule fund transfers, or handle business transactions, knowing the non-working days helps avoid interruptions. It also makes it easier to organize bill payments, loan EMIs, and travel plans without facing unexpected delays.
