Bank Holidays List
State-wise bank holidays, in one place.
How this tool will work
At launch, pick your state to see every bank holiday for the year, plus a note on 2nd/4th Saturdays. Until then, here is how the system works.
Who decides bank holidays?
The RBI publishes the holiday list under the Negotiable Instruments Act, and each state government notifies its own regional holidays. National holidays (Republic Day, Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti) apply everywhere.
Plan around closures
For time-sensitive work like DDs, locker visits or large RTGS transfers, finish branch visits a day before long festival weekends. Digital payments never close.

Example
Example: Diwali is a holiday in most states, while Onam is Kerala-specific. Banks also stay shut on 2nd and 4th Saturdays.
FAQs
Are banks closed on all Saturdays?
No — banks work on 1st, 3rd and 5th Saturdays, and stay closed on 2nd and 4th Saturdays, plus all Sundays.
Why do holidays differ by state?
RBI declares holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act, but states add regional festivals — so Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu lists differ.
Do UPI and ATMs work on holidays?
Yes. UPI, ATMs, net-banking and mobile banking work 24×7. Only branch counters, clearing and same-day NEFT/RTGS settlement pause.
