What This Means for You
However, digital banking, UPI, and ATMs will continue working with no major delays, but the branch banking facilities, such as cheque clearing, document KYC, RTGS, and account closures, will be slower during long breaks.
If you are planning for any branch-based services, even a withdrawal of cash or year-end settlements, it is a good idea to first this month or finish them before the start of Christmas and New Year week, when most branches stay closed in multiple regions.
Final Count Summary (As of November 9, 2025)
| Month | Sundays | 2nd & 4th Saturdays | Public Holidays | Total Holidays (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 2025 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 5 |
| December 2025 | 4 | 2 | 12 | 17 |
| Grand Total (From Nov 9 → Dec 31) | 8 | 3 | 12 | ≈ 23 Days |
EaseMoney View
The year’s final stretch is heavy on holidays, especially from mid-December onward. While it’s a good time to relax, it’s also the period when most branches operate fewer working days.
So, if you have important bank work, do it before the holidays pile up.
