The last week of June is ongoing, and July is about to begin. As a new month starts, working individuals often look forward to the upcoming holidays.
Bank holidays are scheduled based on the RBI calendar and vary from state to state. These holidays impact everyone.
While bank employees enjoy the relief of a holiday, many people’s work depends on banking services, which can be delayed due to closures.
That’s why it’s important for the general public to know about these holidays in advance. Since July is approaching, here is the full list of bank holidays.
This will help you plan ahead if you have any important bank-related work. Check when banks will be closed in July as per the RBI Holiday Calendar.
Bank Holidays in July
July 3 – Banks in Agartala will be closed due to Kharchi Puja.
July 5 – Banks in Jammu and Srinagar will be closed for the birth anniversary of Guru Hargobind Singh Ji.
July 14 – Banks in Shillong will be closed for the Beh Dinkhlam festival, a traditional celebration in Meghalaya.

Additionally, banks across the country will be closed on:
Second and fourth Saturdays: July 12 and July 26
All Sundays: July 6, 13, 20, and 27
This means banks will be shut for a total of 13 days in July.
Holidays Vary by State
Keep in mind that bank holidays are not the same in every state. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), each state has its own list of holidays.
This complete list is available on RBI’s official website and includes festival-specific holidays by state.
Even when banks are closed, customers can still use online banking services to complete most tasks. Nowadays, many banking services are available digitally.
So, you can manage your banking needs from home during holidays. However, if you have something that requires visiting the bank, it’s best to plan and finish it in advance.
