Today is a bank holiday! Banks in India are usually open on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays of the month, but they’re closed on the second and fourth Saturdays, as well as on Sundays. Since December 21 is a third Saturday, banks will be open and running normally.
In December 2024, banks will take breaks for various holidays like the Feast of St. Francis Xavier, Goa Liberation Day, Christmas Eve, and New Year’s Eve. However, which days banks close can depend on where you live. To find out when your local bank might be closed, it’s best to check with them directly.
Even though bank branches may be closed on holidays, you can still use services like online banking anytime. You can access bank websites, apps, UPI payments, and ATMs all year round, unless there’s a scheduled maintenance shutdown. You can even start a fixed or recurring deposit online, even on bank holidays!
