The month of June brings several public and regional holidays across India. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), bank holidays vary by region, so customers are advised to check their local holiday list in advance to avoid disruption in banking services. Here’s a quick look at the key dates when banks will remain closed in June.
Categories of Bank Holidays
Bank holidays in India are broadly divided into three categories:
-
Holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act
- Holiday under the Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) Holiday
Banks’ Closing of Accounts
However, most public holidays, including religious festivals and state celebrations, fall under the first category and are applicable to both public and private sector banks.
Why Bank Holidays Differ by State
While some holidays are observed nationwide, many are celebrated only in specific regions. This happens because India is a culturally diverse country where different festivals, languages, and customs are followed across states. For example, a festival like Raja Sankranti is primarily celebrated in Odisha and might not be a bank holiday elsewhere.
This is why bank holidays vary based on the state and its local festivals, and also why the Reserve Bank issues a list that is both national and regional.

Important Notes for Bank Customers
-
Online Banking Remains Available: Even when branches are closed, online services such as net banking, UPI payments, mobile banking apps, and ATMs usually continue to function normally. Customers can carry out basic transactions online.
-
Plan Ahead for Cash Withdrawals and Bank Visits: People planning visits to bank branches for tasks like cheque clearing, document submission, or other in-person services should check their state-specific holiday schedule and plan accordingly.
-
Festive Crowds and Delays: Around major festivals like Bakra Eid, banks may experience high footfall both before and after the holiday. It is advisable to avoid last-minute visits to avoid delays.
-
Corporate and Government Transactions: Businesses and government offices also observe bank holidays. Payroll processing, fund transfers, and other interbank operations may get delayed on these dates.
How to Stay Updated on Bank Holidays
Most banks release monthly holiday notifications on their official websites and at branch premises. Customers can also view the full annual holiday calendar provided by the Reserve Bank of India. Additionally, mobile banking apps often display alerts related to upcoming closures.
Bank Holidays and Economic Impact
Bank holidays not only give employees a much-needed break but also affect various financial sectors. For example:
-
Stock Market Closures: On national holidays like Bakra Eid, stock markets also remain shut, which impacts trading volumes and investor activity.
-
Delay in Cheque Clearance: Inter-bank cheque processing is paused on holidays, which may lead to slight delays in settlements.
-
ATM Replenishment: During consecutive holidays, ATMs in busy areas may face cash shortages. Hence, it’s advisable to withdraw required cash in advance.
June 2025 will have a balanced mix of weekend and festival-related bank holidays. People across India should check the list specific to their state before scheduling important financial activities. While digital banking offers convenience during branch closures, physical visits to banks should be planned carefully to avoid disruptions.
