Bank Holidays in December: Banks to remain shut for 4 days next week, check important dates

Bank holidays in December 2021: Banks are expected to remain closed for 4 days next week. 

New Delhi: If you’re a bank customer and have lined up some important work for next week, then you need to check bank holidays next week before stepping out of your home. In December, public and private banks in India will remain shut for several days on the occasion of gazetted holidays or Saturday/Sunday leaves. 

In the coming weeks, banks will remain closed for a total of 4 days. The reason for such a long break without any gazetted holiday in between is a two-day strike called by bank unions to protest against the proposed privatisation of state-owned banks.

All major public and private are expected to remain closed for two days, December 16 (Thursday) and December 17 (Friday) due to bank strikes. On December 18 (Saturday), banks will remain closed only in Shillong on the occasion of the death anniversary of U SoSo Tham.
