These holidays are spread across weekends, national holidays, and regional festivals. While the exact dates and reasons for closure vary by state, customers across the country are advised to plan their banking activities accordingly.

Overview of Bank Holidays in June 2025

The RBI releases an annual holiday calendar that includes various types of holidays recognized under three categories: Holiday under Negotiable Instruments Act, Holiday under Negotiable Instruments Act and Real-Time Gross Settlement Holiday, and Banks’ Closing of Accounts. For June 2025, the list includes:

  • Regular weekend offs: All Sundays and the second and fourth Saturdays.
  • Regional holidays specific to local festivals and celebrations.
  • National holidays that affect bank operations across multiple states.

The variety of holidays reflects India’s rich cultural and regional diversity. Since each state has its own set of festivals and observances, banks in different parts of the country will not be closed on the same dates, except for weekends and widely celebrated festivals.
