People in India are often confused about bank holidays as they differ from state to state. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) releases an official annual calendar containing state-wise bank holidays; This includes Sundays as well as some Saturdays. There is often confusion about whether banks will be open or closed on Saturday. Are you planning to go to the bank today – Saturday – and wondering whether the bank is open or closed? Come, let us clear this confusion of yours.
Are banks closed today?
Banks are open all over India today, June 6, 2026, as it is the first Saturday of the month and there is no bank holiday on this day. Government, private, cooperative and regional banks remain closed on the second and fourth Saturday of every month. Banks are also closed on Sundays and national or regional holidays. Since today is the first Saturday of the month, banks will remain open.
Except for special holidays specified in the holiday calendar, the first, third and fifth Saturdays of the month (where applicable) are normal working days. There are four Sundays in this month; Therefore, banks will remain closed on 7, 14, 21 and 28 June. Apart from Sunday, banks will also remain closed on June 13 (second Saturday) and June 27 (fourth Saturday).
Today, tasks like depositing/withdrawal of cash, depositing and clearing of cheques, opening accounts and giving loans can be done in a bank branch. However, customers can also conduct online transactions through Internet Banking – like checking balance, transferring money or making bill payments – without visiting the branch on weekends and holidays.
