Saturday bank holiday: Are banks open or closed today on February 21, 2026?

Bank holidays in India may differ depending on a state and a festival. Apart from national holidays, many holidays are state-specific. Apart from this, the second and fourth Saturdays and Sundays of each month are bank holidays in India, as per a RBI regulation. All public, private, cooperative and regional rural banks are subject to this Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulation. The RBI publishes a state-wise holiday list in its holiday calendar.

Physical bank branches remain closed. This means that in-person, banking services like bank deposits, bank withdrawals and cheque clearances will not be available on off days.
