Banks across India will remain closed for three consecutive days from April 29 to May 1, 2025, on account of various regional festivals and public holidays. Customers are advised to plan their banking activities accordingly. Despite the closures, digital services like net banking, mobile banking, and ATM facilities will continue to remain operational.

The list of holidays and their observance varies from state to state. Customers can visit the official Reserve Bank of India (RBI) website or check with their respective banks for the detailed list of holidays applicable in their region.

Banks in Shimla will be closed in observance of Bhagvan Shri Parshuram Jayanti. The festival marks the birth anniversary of Lord Parshuram, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Devotees celebrate the day by fasting and offering prayers.

On April 30, banks in Bengaluru will remain closed to mark Basava Jayanti and Akshaya Tritiya.

Basava Jayanti celebrates the birth of the 12th-century philosopher and social reformer Basavanna, particularly revered in Karnataka. His teachings focused on gender equality, social reforms, and the eradication of caste-based discrimination.

Akshaya Tritiya, celebrated across India, is considered an auspicious day for new investments and purchases, symbolizing prosperity and financial success.

Banks in major cities including Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata and Patna will remain closed on May 1 to mark Maharashtra Day and International Labour Day.

Maharashtra Day commemorates the formation of the state of Maharashtra after the bifurcation of the Bombay State in 1960.

Labour Day, celebrated globally, honors the contributions of workers and advocates for their rights.

giApart from these specific holidays, banks in India are routinely closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, along with all Sundays. Customers are encouraged to use alternative banking services such as mobile apps, internet banking, and ATMs during this period.
