If you’re planning to visit your bank today and are confused about whether it’s open because it’s the fifth Saturday—here’s some good news! Banks across India are open today, May 31, 2025, as per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) calendar. Since it’s the fifth Saturday of the month, it’s considered a normal working day for all scheduled and non-scheduled banks.
Why Are Banks Open Today?
As per RBI guidelines, banks operate on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays of every month and remain closed on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays and all Sundays. Since May 31 falls on the fifth Saturday, bank branches in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and across India are functioning as usual today.
That means you can walk into your nearest branch for cash deposits, withdrawals, loan queries, cheque clearances, and other banking services during normal working hours, generally 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM (timings may vary slightly between banks).
Quick Tip: Check with Your Local Branch
While most branches are open, some could have local observances or state-specific holidays, so it’s always a good idea to call ahead and confirm with your branch before visiting.
Banks Will Be Closed Tomorrow
Banks will be closed tomorrow, Sunday, June 1, as part of the regular weekend closure. This means no in-branch banking services will be available tomorrow. If you have any urgent transactions like cheque deposits, cash-related work, or loan discussions, it’s best to get them done today while the branches are open.
