December 2024 bank holidays: Banks will not function on 17 days in December on account of festivals, as well as on second and fourth Saturdays and all Sundays.
Bank holidays for festivals are decided by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI); for regional festivals, banks only in that state or region stay closed. On the other hand, all banks are closed on second and fourth Saturdays and Sundays.
Also, online financial services will be available as usual on bank holidays.
In addition to these, there is a second Saturday (December 14) and a fourth one (December). The list is boosted by as many as five Sundays, taking the number of holidays in the final month of the year.
