Banks across India will remain closed for four days between June 22-28, 2026 due to Muharram-related holidays and scheduled weekend closures, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar. The closure includes June 27 (fourth Saturday) and June 28 (Sunday), affecting all banks nationwide. The RBI has listed a total of eleven holidays this month due to national, regional, and religious holidays, including weekend holidays for second Saturday, fourth Saturday, and all Sundays.
June 25 will see banks closed in Vijayawada to observe Moharram. A day later, on June 26, banking operations will be suspended in several cities, including Agartala, Aizawl, Belapur, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jammu, Kanpur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, New Delhi, Patna, Raipur, Ranchi and Srinagar to observe Muharram. As these holidays are region-specific, customers should confirm whether their local branch is affected before planning in-person banking transactions. June 29 will see banks closed in Shimla to celebrate Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti, while June 30 will see closures in Aizawl for Remna Ni regional holiday.
Banks across India will remain shut on June 27 as it falls on the fourth Saturday of the month, a mandatory bank holiday under RBI guidelines. This will be followed by the regular weekly closure on June 28, which falls on a Sunday. In June 2026, banks are closed on Sundays falling on June 7, 14, 21 and 28. Additionally, banks will be closed on June 13 (second Saturday) and June 27 (fourth Saturday). These closures apply uniformly across the country and affect in-branch banking services.
Despite physical branch closures, digital banking services remain operational throughout the holiday period. UPI platforms and mobile banking applications will remain operational, allowing users to transfer funds, make payments and receive money at any time. These services function round the clock, irrespective of whether bank branches are open. Customers can also access NEFT and RTGS-related requests, demand draft forms and cheque book requests through available banking channels. Card-related services involving credit cards, debit cards and ATM cards remain accessible through designated banking channels during holidays. Even when branches remain closed, banks continue to provide essential services through their digital infrastructure.
