**New Delhi:** Bank employees in India are in for a treat this December, with a total of 17 holidays scheduled throughout the month. This includes regular weekly offs, national holidays, and regional holidays, resulting in banks being closed for more than half the month.
The holidays encompass regular Sunday closures, second and fourth Saturday closures, and several festival and special occasion holidays. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) releases an annual list of bank holidays, encompassing both national and regional observances. National holidays result in nationwide bank closures, while regional holidays affect only the specific state or region. It’s crucial to note that the 17-day holiday period is not uniformly applicable across India; closures will vary by region.
