Christmas week brings staggered bank closures across multiple states
Banks across India face staggered closures during Christmas week, with December 25 as a nationwide holiday and extended shutdowns in select states due to regional holidays.
Banking services across India are witnessing multiple interruptions during the Christmas week, as per the Reserve Bank of India’s official holiday calendar. While December 25 remains the only pan-India bank holiday with all public and private sector banks closed for Christmas, several states are observing additional regional holidays. Banks in Mizoram, Nagaland, and Meghalaya remained shut on December 24 for Christmas Eve, and when combined with regular weekly offs, some regions may see closures stretching up to five days. Customers are advised to check state-wise schedules and rely on digital banking channels to manage transactions without disruption.
