Christmas Week Bank Closures: RBI Confirms Dec 25 Shutdown Nationwide, Northeast Sees Multi‑Day Disruptions

RBI’s published calendar leaves few branch days this week as regional holidays plus fixed weekend offs curtail over‑the‑counter services.

Overview

  • Banks across India will be closed on Thursday, December 25, for Christmas under the RBI holiday calendar.
  • Nagaland banks are closed today, Tuesday, December 23, due to a gazetted state holiday listed by the RBI.
  • Additional back‑to‑back closures hit Northeastern hubs including Aizawl, Kohima, Shillong and Imphal from December 24 to 31, varying by location.
  • The fourth Saturday and Sunday rule means branches nationwide will not operate on December 27 and 28.
  • UPI, NEFT/RTGS within operating windows, internet and mobile banking, and ATMs remain available during holidays, while cheque clearing and counter services pause.
