As the month of June unfolds, bank customers across India should be aware of the upcoming holidays that could impact their banking plans. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar, banks will be closed on several days in June, in addition to the usual weekends.
It’s important to remember that bank holidays can sometimes differ based on local festivals, religious events, and national celebrations, depending on the specific state.
While some holidays are nationwide, others are specific to certain states. Here are the major bank holidays scheduled for June 2025:
June 6 (Friday) - Id-ul-Ad’ha (Bakrid): Banks will be closed in the state of Kerala.
June 7 (Saturday) - Bakri Id (Id-Uz-Zuha): Most banks across India will observe a holiday. However, banks in Kerala, Gujarat, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh will remain open on this day.
June 11 (Wednesday) - Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti/Saga Dawa: This holiday will see banks closed in Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim.
June 27 (Friday) - Ratha Yatra/Kang (Rathajatra): Banks will be closed in Odisha and Manipur for these regional festivals.
June 30 (Monday) - Remna Ni: Banks will be closed in Mizoram.
In addition to the specific holidays listed above, banks will also observe their standard weekend closures throughout June:
Sundays: June 1, June 8, June 15, June 22, and June 29.
Second and Fourth Saturdays: June 14 and June 28.
It's important to remember that even when physical bank branches are closed for holidays, services such as net banking, mobile banking apps, ATMs (Automated Teller Machines), and UPI (Unified Payments Interface) transactions will function normally. These digital channels are usually available 24/7, unless there is a specific scheduled maintenance activity by your bank.
To ensure a smooth banking experience during June, here are some helpful tips for all customers:
Plan Ahead: If you have important transactions that require a visit to a physical bank branch, such as depositing large amounts of cash or complex paperwork, make sure to schedule your visit well in advance of these holidays to avoid any last-minute inconvenience.
Use Digital Channels: For routine banking needs like transferring funds, paying bills, checking account balances, or recharging your phone, always opt for digital banking services. They are quick, convenient, and available from anywhere.
Stay Informed: Bank holidays can sometimes have state-specific variations. It is always a good practice to check with your local bank branch directly or refer to the Reserve Bank of India's official holiday calendar for the most accurate and up-to-date state-specific information.
