In August 2026, banks will be closed on various days depending on the state, as many closures are linked to regional festivals, commemorations, local occasions, etc. This means customers in one state may find their bank branch open while branches in another state may remain closed on the same day. So customers visiting a bank branch must check their state's bank holiday schedule.
In India, three days are recognised as ‘national holidays’, and all businesses, including banks, must give their employees a day off on these occasions: January 26 (Republic Day), August 15 (Independence Day) and October 2 (Gandhi Jayanti).
