Under RBI rules, banks remain operational on the first, third and fifth Saturdays unless a specific regional holiday is declared.
Online banking services remain available
Despite branch closures, customers will continue to have access to digital banking services.
UPI transactions, internet banking, mobile banking applications, NEFT and RTGS services, ATM withdrawals, debit card and credit card transactions will remain available during the holiday period, subject to routine maintenance schedules.
Services that may require branch visits
Certain banking services still require physical visits to bank branches, including:
- Opening some types of accounts requiring in-person verification
- Signature updates
- Account closure requests
- Locker-related services
- Large cash deposits and withdrawals requiring verification
- Physical KYC document submissions
- Certain loan applications and restructuring requests
Customers are advised to complete such transactions before the holiday period begins.
Upcoming bank holidays in June
Apart from Muharram-related holidays, RBI's June holiday calendar includes regional holidays such as Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti in Shimla on June 29 and Remna Ni in Aizawl on June 30.
As bank holidays vary by state, customers should verify holiday schedules with their local branches before planning visits.
