New Delhi. Bank employees will get ample holidays in the last month of this year, i.e. December. Banks will have 17 days of holidays in December. Apart from weekly holidays, banks will remain closed for more than half the days next month due to national and regional holidays.
Banks remain closed every Sunday and second and fourth Saturday of the month. Apart from this, banks are also closed on many festivals and some special days. Reserve Bank of India releases a list of bank holidays every year.
RBI’s list includes both national and regional holidays. On national holidays, all banks across the country remain closed. Regional holidays are related to a particular state or region. On these days, only the banks of the respective state or region remain closed. A bank holiday on a particular day in one state does not mean that there will be a holiday in another state as well. Therefore, it is worth noting here that banks will not remain closed for 17 days across the country in December.
