Bank holidays are official days when public and private sector banks remain closed as per guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). These holidays are not declared randomly; they are approved under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, along with RBI’s annual holiday calendar and specific notifications from individual state governments. Because India is a diverse country with different festivals, regional events, and cultural practices, bank holidays can vary from state to state. Some holidays apply nationwide, while others are restricted to particular states or regions based on local traditions.
Knowing the list of bank holidays is important for everyone—whether you need to schedule a bank visit, plan salary or fund transfers, or manage business operations. It helps people avoid last-minute rush, prevents delays in important financial work, and makes it easier to plan travel, bill payments, or banking activities during the month. As December is usually a busy time with year-end tasks, festivals, and holidays, being aware of the complete list of Bank Holidays in December 2025 becomes even more useful.
