As January comes to an end, February is just around the corner. If you plan to complete any banking tasks this month, it’s important to know the days when banks will be closed. Avoid the frustration of visiting a branch only to find it closed.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released the official list of bank holidays for February 2026. This includes weekly offs, the second
and fourth Saturdays, and state-specific festival holidays. Knowing these dates helps you manage your financial work without last-minute problems.

February 1 (Sunday) – Weekly Off
February 14 (Saturday) – Second Saturday
February 15 (Sunday) – Weekly Off
February 22 (Sunday) – Weekly Off
February 28 (Saturday) – Fourth Saturday
All public and private sector bank branches across India will remain closed on these dates.
State-wise Bank Holidays
February 15 – Mahashivratri (Banks closed in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and other states). Since it falls on a Sunday, banks are closed due to the weekly off.
February 18 – Tibetan New Year (Banks closed in Sikkim).
February 19 – Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti (Banks closed in Maharashtra).
February 20 – State Foundation Day (Banks closed in Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram).
Note: Holiday dates vary by state due to festivals or special occasions. Always check your local RBI holiday calendar before visiting a branch.
Banking Services During Holidays
Even when banks are closed, you can still use online and mobile banking services 24/7:
UPI transactions, internet banking, and mobile banking apps are fully operational.
ATM services like cash withdrawals and balance checks are available.
Check clearance, demand drafts, or over-the-counter services will only be processed when the branch reopens.
