India, known for its cultural diversity, observes several regional and national festivals throughout the year. As a result, bank holidays in the country vary from state to state. These holidays are declared under the Negotiable Instruments Act by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). For June 2025, banks will be closed on a number of days, including both national holidays and state-specific observances.
June 11, 2025, holiday is significant for many, especially in the states of Sikkim and Meghalaya, where banks will remain closed to observe Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti. This day commemorates the birth anniversary of Kabir Das, a revered 15th-century poet-saint and social reformer known for his teachings that transcended religion and caste.
Additionally, banks in Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim will remain shut due to the observance of Saga Dawa, a sacred Buddhist festival celebrating the birth, enlightenment, and death of Lord Buddha.
According to the RBI’s official calendar, June 2025 has 12 scheduled bank holidays, including Bakri Id, apart from weekly offs on Sundays and the second and fourth Saturdays. It's essential for individuals to note that bank holidays can differ by state due to local customs and practices.
If you reside in a state observing the June 11, 2025 holiday, it's advisable to plan your banking activities accordingly. Whether it’s ATM withdrawals, cheque deposits, or visiting the branch, timely planning can help avoid inconvenience.
Despite it being a public holiday in some states for Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti, the Indian stock market remains open today, June 11, 2025. Both the NSE and BSE have not declared any trading holiday for this date, and regular sessions are in progress.
So, while banks in select regions may be shut, investors and traders can carry on with their usual market activities without interruption.
