This festival gives the message of love, peace, and brotherhood.
RBI guidelines
According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) bank holiday list, banking service counters will be closed across the country on Christmas Day, meaning all branches will remain closed. Customers will not be able to clear their checks, deposit or withdraw cash, or perform other branch-related tasks. However, the relief is that despite the bank closures, UPI, mobile banking, internet banking, and ATM services will remain operational as usual. Customers will be able to perform online transactions, bill payments, and ATM cash withdrawals.
