Bank Holidays Next Week: Full List of Bank Closures From July 20 to July 26
Bank branches will remain closed on July 22 in Agartala for Kharchi Puja, and nationwide on July 25 (fourth Saturday) and July 26 (Sunday). Branches will operate normally on July 20, 21, 23, and 24. Digital services, including UPI, mobile banking, and ATMs, will remain available throughout the week to ensure customers can continue their routine financial transactions.
Customers planning to visit bank branches next week are advised to verify their local holiday schedules in advance. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar, bank operations will be restricted on three specific days between July 20 and July 26, due to a combination of regional festivals and recurring weekend holidays. While physical branch access will be limited on these dates, banking services will remain operational through digital channels.
The RBI has confirmed that these holiday guidelines apply to all public and private sector institutions, including the State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and other major scheduled commercial banks. RBI Bank Holiday Calendar July 2026: City-Wise List and Weekend Details.
