Weekly Bank Holidays In June 2026

The RBI guidelines suggest that apart from festivals, there would be holidays on all Sundays and the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, while this is separate from festival holidays. As per the RBI guidelines, banks would remain closed on second and fourth Saturdays and on every Sunday of the month. Thus, the bank holidays for June are all Sundays of the month (7th, 14th, 21st and 28th June) and the second and fourth Saturdays of the month (13th June and 27th June).

Customers are advised not to rely on branch banking on any of the above holidays, and it is suggested to carry out banking transactions in digital mode only.

How Many Days will The Banks Be Closed On 26 June 2026?

The banking services at all the branches may be closed for as long as 11 dates of closure for bank holidays depending upon scheduled Saturday closures and regional holidays along with Sunday closures. However, all these would not be observed universally throughout the country, and so the number of bank branches closed may vary based on the state/city of the user.

Will Online Banking Services Work On Bank Holidays?

Yes. The services via digital modes would still be functioning, and the customers can access UPI, mobile banking, Internet banking, ATMs, NEFT and RTGS, debit card, and credit card services.

Customers will be able to use UPI, mobile banking apps, internet banking platforms, ATMs, NEFT and RTGS fund transfers and debit and credit card services throughout the holiday period.

However, you may not be able to access services that require a visit to a branch. These include cash deposit and withdrawal at counters, cheque clearing, passbook updation, locker- work, account opening formalities and some document- services.

What Customer Should Know About June 2026 Bank Holidays

Since many of June’s holidays are regional, customers are requested to check the holiday schedule applicable to their city before planning a visit to the branch. If you have important documents, cheque submissions or any urgent banking tasks, do these before the holiday dates to avoid any last-minute issues.

Most bank branches are generally open on working days from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. The operating hours, however, could vary by individual banks and their locations.
