Bank Holiday: The year 2024 is about to end and with the beginning of 2025, many changes are going to affect the lives of people. One of these questions is whether there will be a bank holiday on January 1, 2025. However, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has not yet released its official list of holidays for 2025, due to which there is confusion among the people.
Banks will remain closed on Wednesday, January 1, 2025
Banks will remain closed in most states of the country on the occasion of New Year on Wednesday, January 1, 2025. Although the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has not released the official holiday calendar for 2025, the holiday on January 1, 2025 is not a gazetted holiday. This is a registered holiday. That is, banks are not going to be closed across the country. Banks are expected to be closed in most states on January 1, 2025. This is decided as per the RBI holiday list of 2024, which includes Aizawl, Chennai, Gangtok, Imphal, Itanagar, Kohima, Kolkata. Therefore, it is not certain that banks will remain closed in all the states.
Online services will remain active
Even if the banks remain closed, the relief for the customers is that the online and mobile banking services of the bank will remain operational. Customers can transact using these services. Apart from this, ATM services will also be available as usual. During holidays, you can use bank online services or mobile banking apps for cash or other banking needs. Customers can also withdraw cash through ATM.
Banks will remain closed in these states on 31 December
Apart from this, banks will remain closed in Mizoram and Sikkim on 31 December 2024 on the occasion of New Year’s Eve. Customers are advised to contact the local branch of their bank to get information about the holidays and plan to settle their work in advance.
