Bank holidays next week: From Raksha Bandhan, to Jhulana Purnima, Tendong Lho Rum Faat and weekends. Check full schedule

Bank holidays next week, August 3-10, 2025: The Reserve Bank of India’s full schedule for August 2025 is out and among the days which banks will be closed next week include Raksha Bandhan, Jhulana Purnima, Tendong Lho Rum Faat, besides the weekly offs on Saturdays and Sundays.

Overall, the month has a total of 15 listed holidays, including Independence Day, Ganesh Chaturthi and Janmashtami, besides other regional celebrations, and the Saturday and Sunday weekly offs.

All banks in India, public and private, have the second and fourth Saturdays as a holiday and all Sundays in the month are weekly offs.

You should note that holidays may differ across states in India due to regional and local requirments. It is thus best to check with your local bank branch for their holiday schedule or list ahead of time to be properly informed and make preparations in case of emergencies or long weekends.

What transactions can you do when banks are closed?

You can continue to use online or mobile banking services even on national holidays — unless notified to users for technical or other reasons. For cash emergencies, ATMs are open for withdrawals, app and UPI function as usual.

All of the bank’s annual holiday calendar is declared by the RBI under provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act, which deals with the issuance of cheques and promissory notes. Transactions involving these instruments are thus not available during these listed holidays.

The RBI and state governments create a list of holidays for banks, taking into account national and local occasions, operational requirements, religious celebrations and other cultural observances. The central bank makes the announcement through its official website and notifications to banks and other financial institutions.
