If you have any banking tasks lined up, take note—banks will remain closed on Friday, March 7, 2025 in some states.
Both government and private sector banks will not operate due to the Chapchar Kut festival in Mizoram.
Why is March 7 a Bank Holiday?
Chapchar Kut is a major harvest festival celebrated in Mizoram. It marks the end of the Jhum farming season, and the festival includes traditional dances, music, sports, and cultural events.
The famous Cheraw dance (bamboo dance) is a highlight of the celebrations, promoting unity and brotherhood in the community.
