The last month of the year, December has started, hence the complete list of bank and school holidays has been released. Banks and schools will remain closed for several days across the country in the month of December due to weekly holidays, Christmas and regional festivals. In such a situation, it is important to plan banking work, children’s education and holidays in advance, so that no problems arise. This information is important because December is a month of travel and festivals, when small and big tasks often come to a halt due to holidays.

In December 2025, banks may remain closed for about 12 to 18 days in different states. However, not all holidays will be applicable across India as many festivals and occasions are celebrated only at the regional level. This month, bank services will be disrupted for several consecutive days due to four Sundays, second and fourth Saturdays and Christmas.

If you are planning to go to the bank branch for any important document, transaction, check clearance or demat work, then it is very important to keep the list of holidays in mind, so that there is no hindrance in any work. Net banking and UPI services will remain operational but check processing and cash related work may be affected.

List of major bank holidays

7th December – Sunday – Weekly holiday.

13 December – Second Saturday – Weekly holiday.

14 December – Sunday – Weekly holiday.

25 December – Thursday – Christmas.

27 December – Fourth Saturday – Weekly holiday.

28 December – Sunday – Weekly holiday.

Schools may be closed due to this also

On the other hand, school holidays also last for a long time in December. The main reasons for this are Christmas and winter vacation. Many states, especially in North India, keep schools closed from the last week of December to early January due to severe cold. At the same time, there is a possibility of Christmas break in Christian institutions and private missionary schools from December 21 to December 28.

During this time, the pressure of children’s exams also reduces and due to the festive atmosphere, more plans are made for family trips and outings. The schedule in schools changes completely between the cold weather and festive celebrations, hence it is important for parents to be aware of the academic calendar in advance.

To make all your bank and school related work easier in December 2025, plan your travel, holidays and important tasks keeping this list in mind. According to NDTV reports, the option of digital transactions will remain available amid bank closures, but crowding for branch-supported operations may increase around holidays. During the winter break in schools, it will be useful to focus on homework, online activities and educational planning for children to continue their education. In the last month of the year, enjoying the festivals and holidays in a planned manner will give a completely smooth experience.

Why passport is necessary?
Passport is not just a simple identity card. This is a proof of international citizenship, validity and global freedom. When any person travels outside a country, then passport is the official document, which proves which country he is a citizen of. Without passport, no human can travel legally from one country to another.
