December 14 Bank holiday in India for Second Saturday!

As we enter the second Saturday of December, it is necessary to know whether banks are open or closed today. According to the Reserve Bank of India's holiday calendar for December 2024, all banks, whether public or private, will remain closed on two Saturdays and five Sundays this month.

Per the RBI guidelines, all banks are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. So, banks will remain closed today, December 14, 2024.

This, however, is a point worth noting the bank holidays in India differ from one state to another. Whereas some holidays are observed nationwide, others are regional-specific or state-specific. Thus, to avoid any inconvenience customers are advised to check with their local branch beforehand about the holiday list or schedule of their branch.
