Bank holidays in December 2025: On what days will banks be closed? Check complete state-wise list – The Times of India

Banks across the country will observe several holidays in December 2025, as per the festive and regional holiday calendar issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). These holidays come in addition to the usual Sunday closures and the second and fourth Saturdays of the month. Banks will remain operational on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays unless specified otherwise in the RBI’s notification. While physical branches will remain shut on the listed days, online services — including UPI, mobile banking and net banking — will function normally, ensuring uninterrupted access to essential transactions. Leading up to the end of 2025, December is set to observe a series of cultural, regional and religious observances across states. The month begins with State Inauguration Day and Indigenous Faith Day, followed by Goa Liberation Day, Losoong/Namsoong celebrations in Sikkim, and several commemorative observances such as the death anniversaries of Pa Togan Nengminja Sangma, U SoSo Tham and U Kiang Nangbah. The latter part of the month will see widespread closures due to Christmas Eve, Christmas, and post-Christmas celebrations in states like Mizoram and Meghalaya. These holidays reflect regional significance across the country — from Losoong marking the Sikkimese New Year, to Christmas festivities in Christian-majority northeastern states, to Goa Liberation Day commemorating the region’s history. Depending on the state, banks may remain closed on multiple consecutive days. Customers planning in-branch visits are advised to check the state-wise RBI holiday list to avoid inconvenience.
