Suspense crime, Digital Desk : If you're looking ahead to June 2025 and need to schedule your bank visits, it's wise to be aware of potential holidays that could see branches closed. While online and mobile banking services usually remain active, in-person transactions can be affected.

Eid al-Adha (Bakrid) and Other Key Dates in June 2025                                                                                                                                    

A major festival potentially impacting bank operations in June 2025 is Eid al-Adha (also known as Bakrid). The exact date of Eid al-Adha depends on the sighting of the moon and can vary by region. As per the information available, banks are expected to be closed on:

  1. June 6, 2025 (Friday): For Eid al-Adha in Jammu and Kashmir.
  2. June 7, 2025 (Saturday): For Eid al-Adha in Kerala and potentially other states (pending final announcements closer to the date). It's also important to note that many banks are typically closed on Saturdays (especially second and fourth Saturdays).

How Bank Holidays Work in India                                                                                                                                                                    

Bank holidays in India are not uniform nationwide, with a few exceptions. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issues a list of holidays, but these are primarily state-specific, based on regional festivals and significant local events.

  1. National Holidays: Only three days are mandated national holidays where all banks across India are closed: Republic Day (January 26), Independence Day (August 15), and Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti (October 2).
  2. Regional/Festival Holidays: Most other holidays, including religious festivals like Eid al-Adha, are declared by individual state governments under the Negotiable Instruments Act. This means a bank might be closed in one state but open in another on the same day.

Other Potential Bank Holidays in June 2025 (State-Specific):                                                                                                                            

Beyond Eid al-Adha, here are other occasions listed that could lead to bank closures in specific states. Always verify with your local branch as these are subject to regional declarations:

  1. June 1, 2025 (Sunday): Maharana Pratap Jayanti. (Note: Banks are typically closed on Sundays anyway).
  2. June 15, 2025 (Sunday): YMA Day / Guru Hargobind Ji's Birthday / Raja Sankranti. (Banks typically closed on Sundays).
  3. June 8, 2025 (Sunday): Vat Savitri Vrat. (Banks typically closed on Sundays).
  4. June 21, 2025 (Saturday): Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti. (Banks may be closed in states like Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab. Also, consider regular Saturday banking hours/closures).

Important Considerations for June 6th and 7th, 2025:                                                                                                                                         

  1. For June 6th (Friday), banks are slated to be closed for Eid al-Adha specifically in Jammu and Kashmir.
  2. For June 7th (Saturday), banks are expected to be closed for Eid al-Adha in Kerala. Other states may also observe this holiday. Additionally, this being a Saturday, many banks might follow their usual Saturday schedule (e.g., closed if it's a second or fourth Saturday, or having specific working hours if it's a first, third, or fifth Saturday).

Stay Informed                                                                                                                                                                                                       

While digital banking offers convenience, for services requiring a branch visit, it's always best to:

  1. Check the official RBI holiday list for your state closer to the date.
  2. Contact your local bank branch directly to confirm their working days and hours, especially around festival periods.

By planning, you can avoid any inconvenience and manage your financial tasks smoothly throughout June 2025.
