In India, differing bank holiday schedules between private and public sector banks often confuse clients. Notably, banks close on the second and fourth Saturdays, while other Saturdays, including a fifth if applicable, are working days. This system, aimed at improving employee work-life balance, makes banking operations predictable yet tricky to remember. Understanding this schedule is crucial for planning visits and ensuring smooth financial transactions.
For easy reference, the list of Saturdays in 2025 when a bank has a holiday is as follows:
Month | Second Saturday Date | Fourth Saturday Date |
January | 11 January 2025 | 25 January 2025 |
February | 08 February 2025 | 22 February 2025 |
March | 08 March 2025 | 22 March 2025 |
April | 12 April 2025 | 26 April 2025 |
May | 10 May 2025 | 24 May 2025 |
June | 14 June 2025 | 28 June 2025 |
July | 12 July 2025 | 26 July 2025 |
August | 09 August 2025 | 23 August 2025 |
September | 13 September 2025 | 27 September 2025 |
October | 11 October 2025 | 25 October 2025 |
November | 08 November 2025 | 22 November 2025 |
December | 13 December 2025 | 27 December 2025 |
All banks, private and PSU, are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month since the Reserve Bank of India announced in 2015 that all banks will be closed on these days. However, the bank will be open and operating normally on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays of each month. All banks are closed on Sundays. Customers can use their bank's mobile app or net banking page to conduct online transactions even on the second and fourth Saturdays and Sundays when the branch locations are closed.
