Bank Holiday: If you’ve been delaying your banking tasks for today and are curious whether the bank is open or if it’s a holiday, there’s no need to stress. As we near the second week of December, many folks are asking about this, so let’s clear up what the banking scene looks like on December 6, 2025.
Are banks open today or not?
Banks are indeed open today, December 6, 2025, since it’s the first Saturday of the month. Per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, the first, third, and fifth Saturdays of each month are considered working days. However, if a state has a public holiday, things might be different, but on a national level, banks are open today.
Interestingly, even though the first Saturday is a working day according to the RBI calendar, many people get mixed up because banks are closed nationwide on the second and fourth Saturdays. Plus, banking services are not available on Sundays.
When is the next bank holiday in December?
The next bank holiday after today will be tomorrow, Sunday, December 7. Also, there are some state-specific holidays coming up this month.
