If you’re planning to visit a bank today, it’s important to check the holiday schedule first.
Banks are closed in several cities on Friday, January 23, and showing up without this information could lead to unnecessary trouble.
The Reserve Bank of India releases a state-wise holiday list every year, and January 23 is marked as a bank holiday in some regions.
Where Are Banks Closed on January 23?
According to the RBI holiday list, banks are closed today in Tripura, Odisha, and West Bengal.
The closure is due to occasions such as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s birth anniversary, Saraswati Puja, Veer Surendrasai Jayanti, and Basant Panchami.
If you live in any of these states, it’s better to postpone any branch-related banking work. In the rest of the country, banks are operating as usual today.
Upcoming Bank Holidays to Watch Out For
There are more bank holidays lined up over the next few days.
January 24, 2026, is the fourth Saturday, which is a regular bank holiday.
January 25 falls on a Sunday, meaning banks will remain closed nationwide.
On January 26, banks in most cities will be shut due to Republic Day.
This means banking services in many areas may remain unavailable for three consecutive days.
Online Banking Services Will Still Work
Even though bank branches are closed, digital services remain active.
UPI, mobile banking, internet banking, and ATMs will continue to function normally.
You can still transfer money, pay bills, and shop online.
However, services that require visiting a bank branch will not be available during the holidays.
Before stepping out, it’s always a good idea to double-check local bank holiday schedules to avoid inconvenience.
