With the month of July just around the corner, customers planning to visit their bank should first check the holiday schedule. Knowing the bank holidays in advance can help you avoid unnecessary trips and complete important banking work on time.
Banks across India will remain closed for a total of 12 days in July 2026, including Sundays, the second and fourth Saturdays, and regional holidays observed in different states. Since some holidays are state-specific, customers are advised to check the holiday list applicable to their city before visiting a branch.
When are banks going to remain close?
Banks are scheduled to remain closed for 12 days during July 2026. These holidays include weekly offs as well as festivals and local observances in different states. While some closures will be nationwide, others will apply only to specific regions. As a result, customers should verify the holiday schedule for their state before planning any branch visit. If you have important banking work such as cheque clearance, document submission, account verification or loan-related services, it is advisable to complete these tasks before the holidays to avoid delays.

Although bank branches will remain closed on notified holidays, digital banking services will continue without interruption. Customers can use UPI, mobile banking, internet banking and banking apps to transfer money, pay utility bills, recharge mobile phones, check account balances and carry out other financial transactions. ATMs will also remain operational for cash withdrawals in most locations. This means that routine banking activities can still be completed even when physical branches are not open, reducing the need to visit a bank.

What if you need to deposit the cash?
Customers who need to deposit cash during a bank holiday can use Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs) available outside many bank branches. These self-service machines allow users to deposit cash directly into their bank accounts without visiting the bank counter. In most cases, the deposited amount is credited within a short time. Customers should also ensure they carry their debit card or follow the cardless deposit process if supported by their bank. By checking the holiday calendar in advance and using digital banking services and CDMs, customers can manage most banking needs smoothly even during bank holidays.
