Several Banks Will Remain Closed in July 2026! See the Complete Schedule

Bank holidays are the special days on which banks across India observe closure. On these days one can’t deposit cheques, withdraw cash, or get a passbook filled at the branch.

In India, the bank holidays are decided by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). It is the central bank of India and controls how the banks function all around the country. 

These holidays include national holidays such as Independence Day, Republic Day as well as the regional holidays too. This is the reason bank holidays are not similar all across the country. That is why it is important to learn about the bank holidays to ensure that the important transactions are not hampered. Here is the list of bank holidays in July 2026.

Why Are Bank Holidays Different in Every State?

This is one of the most confusing aspects of the bank holidays in India. The country has many cultures, languages and traditions and each state celebrates its own festivals. RBI respects this by allowing regional offices to declare local holidays as per their celebrations. 

For example, the Rath Yatra will be majorly celebrated in Bhubaneswar, Dehradun, Imphal, Shillong however, banks in the remaining states of India will stay open. That is why the bank holidays across India differ.
