Notably, the second and fourth Saturdays and every Sunday in each month are holidays for all banks.

In addition to the common national and gazetted holidays, banks in India could have local holidays and festivals off, as required. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) releases its annual, official bank holiday list in January. Please ask your nearest local bank branch for their confirmed holiday schedule for 2025.

Can You Use ATMs, Online Banking During Bank Holidays?

Yes, you can use ATMs, mobile banking, online banking, and bank apps for daily transactions even during bank holidays, unless a bank sends specific notification regarding maintenance timings or technical issues. However, the Negotiable Instruments Act deals with the issuance of cheques and promissory notes and transactions involving these instruments will not be available during the holidays.

Thus, it is advisable to check the confirmed holiday schedule from your own local bank branch and make arrangements to deal with any extended closures or emergencies on particular dates.
