More Holidays for Bank Employees

When we combine the state government holidays with the 52 Sundays in a year, government employees will enjoy a total of 77 holidays. However, employees in banks and similar establishments receive additional holidays. With the second and fourth Saturdays of every month also being holidays, these employees will benefit from approximately 26 more days off. This means bank employees, eligible for all holidays, will enjoy 103 holidays in total.

Adding all Saturdays and Sundays to the 25 government holidays, state government employees will be entitled to 129 holidays in 2025. In addition to the regular holidays, banks (excluding government departments) will observe a holiday on 1 April 2025 to complete annual accounts. Moreover, state government employees will get an extra holiday on 23 October 2025, on the occasion of Bhaubij.
