On June 14, 2025, many banks across India will be closed as it falls on the second Saturday of the month. This is a standard practice in India, where banks typically observe holidays on the second and fourth Saturdays, in addition to Sundays, as per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines.
Apart from the regular weekend closures, banks in India will also be closed on certain days in June 2025 due to regional and religious holidays. These holidays are determined by the RBI under the Negotiable Instruments Act, and they may vary from state to state. It's important to note that while physical branches may be closed, online banking services and ATMs are generally available, allowing customers to perform essential transactions even on holidays.
Here’s a list of some of the holidays observed by banks in June 2025:
Even when banks are physically closed, customers can still access a range of banking services. ATMs remain operational for cash withdrawals, and digital banking platforms facilitate online transactions, fund transfers, and bill payments. It’s advisable to plan your bank-related activities in advance, keeping these holiday closures in mind, to avoid any inconvenience.
It’s worth noting that bank holidays can differ significantly from one state to another. For example, certain festivals or regional events may be observed as holidays in specific states but not nationwide. Checking the RBI's official holiday calendar or consulting with your local bank branch can provide clarity on the exact holidays applicable to your region.
Bank holidays impact various financial activities. While online and ATM services remain available, processing of certain transactions, such as cheque clearances or loan disbursements, may be delayed until the next working day. Customers planning significant financial transactions should consider these potential delays and plan accordingly.
