Many people are uncertain whether banks are open or closed today (Friday, June 26, 2026). The confusion is arising mainly because of the festival of Muharram, which will be observed in many parts of India today. Bank holidays in India vary from one region to another. They may differ from one state to the next and are often influenced by local festivities, religious events and regional festivals.
Are banks open or closed today (June 26, 2026) for Muharram?
Banks in many states are closed today on the occasion of Muharram. States and union territories where banks are closed on June 26, 2026, are Tripura, Mizoram, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Delhi, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Andhra Pradesh. In total, 15 states/UTs will have a holiday on June 26.
Banks will be closed for three days in a row
As Muharram falls on Friday followed by the fourth Saturday of the month and Sunday, banks will be closed for three days in a row.
In India, all scheduled and non-scheduled banks observe public holidays on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month.
Therefore, bank customers residing in these states and union territories have to wait till Monday to complete tasks that require a bank visit.
Muharram is an important Islamic occasion, and the exact day of its observance depends on the sighting of the moon.
