As we celebrate Christmas Eve today, the festive season has officially begun with streets brightened up with fancy lights, homes decorated with Christmas trees, and the sweet smell of plum cake filling up the air. Christmas celebrated annually on December 25 commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ and holds great significance across the country, especially in the Goa and Northeastern region of India. In the observance of Christmas, banks across the country will remain shut for five days. However, some states will have partial operations on certain days.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued an official statement regarding the holidays. Individuals are advised to stay updated to avoid last-minute inconvenience.
