Christmas 2025 Holiday in India

Christmas 2025 Holiday in India: Banks and the Indian stock market—the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange—will be closed today, Thursday, December 25, on account of Christmas.

Christmas, which marks the birth of Jesus, is celebrated every year on December 25 and is a significant festival celebrated by the Christian community in India and worldwide.

As we are just a few days away from the new year, this is the last stock market holiday in India; however, there are four more official bank holidays scheduled for December 2025, including mandatory weekly days off on the second Saturday and Sunday of each month.

These bank holidays are designated under the Negotiable Instruments Act, which entails both RTGS holidays and other regional and national holidays.
