At the start of each year, the central bank compiles a monthly schedule of bank holidays, according to which banks in specified regions stay closed. This year, there are up to 14 bank holidays in July. It should be noted that many bank holidays are regional and may vary from state to state and from bank to bank. 

As previously stated, there are 14 bank holidays in July.

Banks in India, however, will not close for 14 days because eight of these are region-specific. On July 1, for example, there is a bank holiday in Odisha, but banks in the rest of the country will be open.
