Bank Holiday Today: Are banks open or closed today, Saturday, July 25? Clear up any confusion before you step out..

Bank Holiday Today: If you are planning to visit the bank today to deposit cash, clear a cheque, update your passbook, or handle other important tasks, make sure to check whether banks are open or closed this Saturday before leaving home. As happens every month, there is some confusion regarding this. Checking the holiday schedule beforehand can save you both time and effort.

Are banks open or closed today, July 25, 2026?
According to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, public and private sector banks across the country remain closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. Since today, July 25, 2026, is the fourth Saturday of the month, bank branches nationwide will not be operational.

Conversely, banks remain open on the first, third, and—where applicable—fifth Saturdays, just like on regular working days. However, banks in a specific state may remain closed if a holiday has been declared there by the RBI.

Check the holiday list before visiting the bank
If you need to visit a bank branch for important work today or in the coming days, be sure to consult the RBI's bank holiday list first. Bank holidays vary by state; banks may be closed in one state due to a local festival or special occasion while operating normally in others. Being informed in advance can save you the hassle of making an unnecessary trip to the bank.

Which services remain available when banks are closed?
Bank branches being closed does not mean all banking services come to a halt; digital banking facilities will continue to operate as usual.

Customers can send and receive money, check balances, and pay bills via UPI, internet banking, mobile banking, and bank mobile apps. Cash withdrawal facilities at ATMs will also remain available as usual.

However, some digital services might be temporarily affected if a bank has scheduled maintenance work. In such situations, banks inform their customers in advance.

What tasks can be performed using mobile banking and net banking?
If you have activated your bank's net banking or mobile banking services, you can easily handle various important tasks even on holidays. You can check your balance, transfer funds, make online payments, and utilize numerous other banking services at any time.

Additionally, many banks offer services such as opening new accounts, updating KYC details, applying for loans, and managing debit card-related tasks through their mobile apps or websites.

For which tasks is a visit to the bank branch necessary?
There are certain banking tasks that can still only be completed by visiting a bank branch. These include submitting or updating KYC documents related to identity proof, address proof, PAN, Aadhaar, or signatures.

Furthermore, tasks such as depositing or withdrawing cash exceeding ATM limits, resolving complaints that require physical verification, or submitting death certificates and other necessary documents for claims related to a deceased account holder's account, must be done by visiting the bank branch.

Banks across the country to remain closed on July 26
Following July 25, July 26 (Sunday) will be a weekly holiday. Due to the weekend, banks across the country will remain closed on Sunday. Apart from this, no specific bank holidays have been scheduled for any state between July 26 and August 1. However, local holidays may vary by state; therefore, it is advisable to check the RBI's holiday list if necessary.
