Banks across India follow the Reserve Bank of India’s official holiday calendar, which lists closures for national, regional, and religious observances. The RBI identified 11 holidays in June 2026. Some holidays apply nationwide while others are state or city-specific. Customers need to know when branches close to avoid transaction delays.
How the RBI Holiday Calendar Works
The Reserve Bank of India publishes an annual holiday list that applies to all private and public banks. Holidays fall into three categories: national observances, regional festivals, and days under the Negotiable Instruments Act. Weekends (second and fourth Saturday plus all Sundays) are standard bank holidays nationwide. Some holidays only affect specific states or cities where bank branches will close and offline services suspend.
June 2026 Regional Closures
On June 15, banks close in Aizawl for the Young Mizo Association founding day and in Bhubaneswar for Raja Sankranti. June 25 brings closures in Vijayawada for Moharrum. June 26 marks the widest closure: banks shut in Agartala, Aizawl, Belapur, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jammu, Kanpur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, New Delhi, Patna, Raipur, Ranchi, and Srinagar for Muharrum.

Planning Around Bank Closures
Customers should check the RBI calendar for state-specific holidays before planning large transactions. Online banking and digital payment systems typically remain available during bank holidays. For time-sensitive payments or cheque deposits, complete transactions before closures. The RBI publishes full holiday schedules for all states including Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, and Rajasthan.
