Bank holidays in India are designated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in line with the Negotiable Instruments Act, RTGS holidays, regional and national observances, and mandatory weekly offs on the second and fourth Saturdays as well as Sundays. For February 2026, a total of nine holidays are scheduled to mark notable events such as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti. Bank branches in various Indian cities will be closed on these dates, potentially disrupting customer transactions and services.
Customers are advised to check the holiday calendar and plan their visits accordingly. Even with physical branches closed, essential financial services will continue through digital and self-service platforms. These include online and mobile banking for fund transfers, balance inquiries, and bill payments. NEFT and RTGS services (per operational windows), ATM withdrawals and card transactions, as well as online requests for chequebooks, demand drafts, and account-related services, will remain available. Customers should plan in-branch visits around the holidays and use online banking for uninterrupted access.
