Bank holiday today: Are banks open today on December 26, 2025, Friday for Christmas celebrations?

Bank holidays for festivals in India differ from state to state. For instance, during Christmas, some states observe just a one-day bank holiday, while in other states, bank holidays stretch over two to three days. Bank customers planning a branch visit should always check whether their bank is open on a particular day in their state. In addition to regional, national, and Sunday holidays, all scheduled and non-scheduled banks remain closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month.
