Why will banks be closed on December 22nd?
On Monday, December 22, 2025, all government and private bank branches in Sikkim will remain closed. This is due to the state’s major traditional festival, Losoong or Namsoong. This festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm by the Lepcha and Bhutia communities. This festival symbolizes the end of the harvest season and the welcoming of the Sikkimese New Year. Due to this holiday, banks in Sikkim will remain closed continuously from Sunday to Monday.
Long break in several states around Christmas
Banking services will also be affected in the last week of December due to Christmas. On December 24, banks will be closed in Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Mizoram on the occasion of Christmas Eve. On December 25, all bank branches across the country will be closed for Christmas. After this, on December 26, there will be another bank holiday in these three states, resulting in banks remaining closed for four consecutive days.
Fourth Saturday and Sunday will also add to the inconvenience
On December 27, 2025, banks will be closed across the country due to it being the fourth Saturday of the month. The next day, December 28, will be the weekly Sunday holiday. This will further extend the continuous bank holiday period in many places.
