The RBI publishes a holiday calendar each year indicating when all banks must remain closed, including public, private, cooperative, rural and local area banks. These holidays include national, gazetted, festival and regional holidays. (RBI’s official holiday notifications are the primary source for branch closures.)

Every month, RBI mandates closure on:

• All Sundays
• Second and fourth Saturdays

These are common non-working days for banks nationwide under RBI guidelines.

In addition, RBI recognises gazetted holidays (applicable across many or all states) and regional festival holidays (applicable in specific states) according to their holiday calendar.
