On Saturday, August 2, 2025, banks will be open as it is the first Saturday of the month. While August 2025 does not have any nationally observed holidays, the month includes several regional festivals that may result in bank closures depending on location.

August Bank Holidays

It is important to note that bank holidays can vary by region. In August 2025, banks will be closed for up to 15 days in certain parts of India, due to a combination of weekends, national holidays, and regional festivals. These holidays are determined by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), but the specific days of closure can differ from state to state.

Here is a list of some of the holidays in August 2025:

  • August 8: Tendong Lho Rum Faat (banks closed in Sikkim).
  • August 9: Raksha Bandhan/Jhulana Purnima (banks closed in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh).
  • August 13: Patriot's Day (banks closed in Manipur).
  • August 15: Independence Day/Parsi New Year (Shahenshahi)/Janmashtami (observed nationally).
  • August 16: Janmashtami (Shravan Vad-8)/Krishna Jayanthi (banks closed in Ahmedabad, Aizawl, Bhopal, Ranchi, Chandigarh, Chennai, Dehradun, Gangtok, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kanpur, Lucknow, Patna, Raipur, Shillong, Jammu, Srinagar and Vijayawada).
  • August 19: Birthday of Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya Bahadur (banks closed in Tripura).
  • August 25: Tirubhav Tithi of Srimanta Sankardeva (banks closed in Assam).
  • August 27: Ganesh Chaturthi/Samvatsari (Chaturthi Paksha)/Varasiddhi Vinayaka Vrata/Ganesh Puja/Vinayakar Chathurthi (banks closed in Ahmedabad, Belapur, Mumbai, Nagpur, Bengaluru, Bhubaneshwar, Chennai, Hyderabad, Panaji and Vijayawada).
  • August 28: Ganesh Chaturthi (2nd Day)/Nuakhai (banks closed in Bhubaneshwar and Panaji).

In addition to these holidays, banks will also be closed on Sundays (August 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31) and the second and fourth Saturdays of the month (August 9 and 23).

Customer Convenience

Even when banks are closed, many offer online and mobile banking services, allowing customers to perform transactions, check balances, and manage their accounts remotely. ATMs also provide access to cash and other services. However, it is worth remembering that the processing of some transactions may be delayed until the next working day.

To avoid any inconvenience, it is always a good idea to check with your local branch for specific holiday schedules and to plan your banking activities accordingly.
