List of bank holidays in January 2025: As we proceed from the New Year’s celebrations, the official list of bank holidays for January 2025 has been released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sets bank holidays, Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) holidays, and account closure limits for public and commercial banks in India.
India has various bank holidays throughout the year, including national holidays, state-specific festivals, and significant observances.
It is crucial to note that, while branches will be closed, all online and digital banking services, including cash transfers and mobile banking applications, will continue to operate regularly, allowing clients to manage their finances without interruption throughout the holidays.
In the recent announcement of the bank holidays for January 2025, it’s mentioned that January 2025 will observe a total of 13 non-working days, including national and regional holidays, while also observing mandatory closures on the second and fourth Saturdays and Sundays.
