Bank holiday alert: If you are planning to go to the bank to complete some important work, then this news is very important for you. Due to Christmas, banking services in three north-eastern states of the country are going to be disrupted for about a week. Due to continuous holidays, common customers as well as businessmen may have to face problems. In such a situation, it becomes necessary to prepare well in time.
Banks will remain closed for 5 consecutive days from today in Nagaland, Mizoram and Meghalaya. Bank branches will remain shuttered in these states from December 24 to December 28. This series of holidays is formed due to Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Christmas Celebration, Second Saturday and Sunday.
If you look at the complete list of holidays
- December 24: Christmas Eve
- December 25: Christmas
- 26 December: Christmas Celebration
- December 27: Second Saturday
- December 28: Sunday
No government or private bank branch will open during these five days. That means cash deposit, cash withdrawal, check clearance, passbook update, demand draft and all counter related services will remain completely closed. Especially businessmen, elderly people and those who are still dependent on offline banking services may face problems.
digital banking services
However, it is a matter of relief that digital banking services will continue to operate. Net banking, mobile banking, UPI and ATM services will remain available normally even during holidays. That means you can do online transactions, bill payment, fund transfer and withdraw cash from ATM. But keep in mind that if cash is not refilled in the ATM, there may be problems at some places.
Banks will remain closed across the country on 25th December
