Shillong banks closed Thursday for poet's remembrance

India Dec 18, 2025

Banks in Shillong will be closed this Thursday (December 18) to mark the death anniversary of U Soso Tham, a celebrated Khasi poet.
This local holiday is part of the RBI calendar, so if you're in Shillong, don't plan any branch visits—but banks in other major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata are open as usual.

Digital banking? Still running

No worries if you need to get stuff done—online banking, ATMs, and card services will all work as normal.
You can transfer money, check your balance, or pay bills without interruption.
Just remember to use digital options and save any branch errands for another day!
