In its yearly list, the Reserve Bank of India has published a list of holidays for the year 2021. The holidays were planned in accordance with this list. Christmas is one of up to seven state-specific holidays. Christmas, on the other hand, falls on the second Saturday of the month, which is already a bank holiday. When the seven holidays and six-weekend leaves are added together, the net number of bank holidays in December equals 12, with Christmas falling in the middle.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has published a list of bank holidays that will be observed. The number of holidays has been set at 11 this month, according to a list published by the central bank. The weekend leaves are the only ones left. All of the month's Sundays, as well as the second and fourth Saturdays, are included. On the first and third Saturdays of each month, banks are open. The list of holidays provided by the RBI is divided into three groups. State-level celebrations, religious holidays, and festival celebrations are all included.
