2025 India Bank Holidays: Plan your year with these dates

In India, there are certain public holidays that apply nationwide in 2025, such as Republic Day on January 26th, Independence Day on August 15th, and Gandhi Jayanti on October 2nd. However, there are also state-specific bank holidays depending on the region where one resides. Additionally, various religious and festival holidays, including Diwali, Dussehra, Christmas, Eid, Guru Nanak Jayanthi, Good Friday, Ganesh Chaturthi, and Budh Purnima, are observed throughout the country.

In addition to the mentioned bank holidays, banks in India remain closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. However, if a month happens to have five Saturdays, the fifth Saturday is considered a working day for banks. It’s worth noting that in the past, banks used to operate for only half a day on Saturdays.
