Are banks open or closed today on April 26, 2025?

Banks in India will remain closed on April 26, 2025 as it marks the fourth Saturday of the month, a day when banks in India remain shut as part of the bi-monthly weekend holiday policy implemented by the RBI.

Digital banking
While physical bank branches will not be accessible, customers can continue to access digital banking services. Internet banking, mobile apps, ATMs, and customer service helplines will remain functional, allowing users to carry out routine transactions such as balance checks, fund transfers, utility bill payments, and more.


To ensure a smooth banking experience, customers are encouraged to complete cash transactions or in-person visits before the weekend. Use online banking options over the weekend. Avoid scheduling major transactions that require branch intervention on the holiday.
