As the weekend begins, many people who postponed their banking tasks to Saturday may be wondering: Are banks open or closed today, 6 December 2025? Here is the complete update.
Are Banks Open Today?
Yes, banks across India are open today, 6 December 2025.
This is because it is the first Saturday of the month.
As per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, banks remain open on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays of every month. Only the second and fourth Saturdays are designated as bank holidays—unless an additional public holiday is officially declared.

- Swadeshi Aastha Diwas

These holidays vary by state and regional bank circles.
However, 25 December – Christmas is the only nationwide bank holiday this month.
Use Online Banking for Most Services
With increasing digitization, banks encourage customers to complete most transactions online. Yet, some services still require a branch visit due to verification, documentation, or regulatory requirements. These include:
- Starting or updating nomination
- Submitting KYC documents
- Cash deposits/withdrawals beyond prescribed limits
- Issuing high-value demand drafts
- Fraud-related complaint resolution
- Accessing or operating a bank locker
- Correcting or linking a PAN card
- Settling inheritance-related banking matters such as submission of succession certificates or releasing funds to legal heirs
For these tasks, customers may need to visit their nearest branch during working hours.
