**Hyderabad, India** – Banks across India will be closed for 17 days in December 2024 due to national and regional holidays, according to the Reserve Bank of India’s holiday schedule. The closures will include Sundays, second and fourth Saturdays, and various festival holidays.
While bank branches will be closed, customers can still access their accounts and conduct transactions through digital platforms such as internet banking, mobile apps, and ATMs. The RBI has released the complete list of holiday dates to allow customers to plan accordingly.
The increasing use of digital banking and mobile payment apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm has reduced reliance on physical bank branches for smaller transactions. However, the bank holiday schedule serves as a reminder for customers to plan their banking activities accordingly, especially for cash withdrawals, which remain available via ATMs.
