The new year is almost here, and everyone is busy preparing to welcome 2025. If you are planning to visit the bank for any important work in January 2025, make sure to check the list of holidays first. This is because, in January 2025, banks will be closed for 15 days due to national and regional holidays, apart from their regular weekly holidays. Banks remain closed every Sunday and on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month. Additionally, they remain closed on festivals and other special occasions.
Bank Holidays in January 2025: National vs Regional Closure
The list of bank holidays is issued by the Reserve Bank of India and includes both national and regional holidays. All banks across the country remain closed on national holidays. Regional holidays, on the other hand, are specific to a particular state or region, and only the banks in that state or region remain closed on these days. It is important to note that in January 2025, banks will not be closed for 15 days across the entire country. Banks will only be closed on national and weekly holidays, while regional holidays will only affect banks in the respective state.
