Mumbai, June 29: A long list of bank holidays is lined up for July 2025, with banks scheduled to remain shut for up to 13 days due to regional festivals, Sundays, and second and fourth Saturdays. According to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) official calendar, there is no nationwide bank holiday on July 7 on account of Muharram. This is because Muharram is likely to be observed on July 6, which falls on a Sunday this year. As a result, a separate bank holiday has not been declared for July 7. However, online banking services will remain functional on all days. Stock Market Holidays in July 2025: Will Share Market Remain Open on 7 July for Muharram?
