Bank Holidays Next Week: Check RBI’s Holiday Calendar Before Visiting Your Branch

Banks to Remain Closed on Select Days Between June 15 and June 21; Customers Advised to Plan Ahead

If you have important banking tasks lined up next week—such as cheque clearance, demand draft issuance, account-related paperwork, or locker access—it may be wise to check the holiday schedule before heading to your bank branch.

According to the Reserve Bank of India's holiday calendar, banks in various parts of the country will remain closed on specific dates between June 15 and June 21, 2026. While the exact holidays may vary from state to state, customers are advised to plan their banking activities in advance to avoid last-minute inconvenience.

The closures apply to both public-sector and private-sector banks, although digital banking services will continue to operate normally throughout the holiday period.

Bank Holidays Scheduled Between June 15 and June 21

June 15, 2026 (Monday)

Banks in certain states and regions may remain closed due to local, regional, or religious observances.

Since holiday schedules can vary across states, customers should verify the status of their local branch before planning a visit.

June 21, 2026 (Sunday)

As a weekly holiday, banks across the country will remain closed.

All major lenders, including public-sector banks and private institutions, will suspend branch operations for the day, though online banking and ATM services will remain available.

Total Bank Holidays in June 2026

The RBI holiday calendar for June 2026 includes a combination of:

• National holidays

• Regional festivals

• State-specific observances

In total, June features 11 bank holidays when weekends and festival-related closures are combined.

Weekend Bank Closures in June 2026

Sundays

Banks remain closed nationwide on:

• June 7

• June 14

• June 21

• June 28

Saturdays

As per banking rules, the second and fourth Saturdays are observed as holidays:

• June 13 (Second Saturday)

• June 27 (Fourth Saturday)

These closures apply across most banking institutions in India.

Why Holiday Schedules Differ by State

Not all bank holidays are observed nationwide.

Many closures are based on:

• Regional festivals

• State-specific celebrations

• Local government notifications

• Religious observances

As a result, a bank branch may remain operational in one state while being closed in another.

Customers are encouraged to confirm holiday schedules directly with their local branch or through their bank's official website and mobile application.

Banking Services That Will Continue During Holidays

Although physical branches may remain closed on designated holidays, most essential banking services will continue uninterrupted through digital channels.

Customers can still access:

Online Fund Transfers

Services such as:

• NEFT

• RTGS

• IMPS

• UPI

will remain available through internet and mobile banking platforms.

Mobile Banking Apps

Users can continue performing routine banking activities, including:

• Balance checks

• Account statements

• Fund transfers

• Bill payments

• Investment transactions

UPI Payments

Popular payment platforms such as:

• Google Pay

• PhonePe

• Paytm

• BHIM

will continue to function normally, allowing seamless money transfers and merchant payments.

ATM Services

Cash withdrawals, deposits (where available), mini statements, and other ATM-based services will remain operational even when bank branches are closed.

Debit and Credit Card Transactions

Card-based online and offline transactions will continue without disruption.

Plan Important Banking Work in Advance

Experts recommend completing branch-dependent tasks before the holiday period whenever possible.

Services that may require a physical branch visit include:

• Locker operations

• Account opening documentation

• Demand draft issuance

• KYC updates

• Signature verification

• Loan-related paperwork

• Cheque-related requests

Completing these activities ahead of scheduled holidays can help avoid delays.

The Bottom Line

While most digital banking services now operate around the clock, several branch-based services still require an in-person visit. With select bank holidays falling between June 15 and June 21, customers should review the RBI holiday calendar and confirm local branch schedules before making plans.

A quick check today can save an unnecessary trip tomorrow and ensure that important banking work is completed without interruption.
