In India, December 25, Christmas Day, is observed as a public holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act, and most banks will remain closed. This holiday is widely observed in states like Goa, Kerala, and the Northeastern region, where Christmas is a major celebration.
Bank branches in regions where Christmas is not a state holiday may remain operational, but schedules can vary. Customers are advised to confirm with their local branches.
While branch operations will be affected, services like ATMs, internet banking, and mobile banking will remain available for transactions, ensuring uninterrupted access to basic banking needs.
To avoid inconvenience, complete any essential banking tasks by December 24, as normal operations will resume on December 26, 2024.
