Bank Holiday List: If you have urgent bank-related work today, Monday, June 29, 2026, and are planning to visit a branch, this information is crucial for you. Different rules regarding bank operations apply in various parts of the country today. Since the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) determines holidays based on individual states, banks are fully operational in some locations, while branches will remain closed in others. Therefore, it is important to check whether banks in your state are open or closed before stepping out.

According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar, banks are open today, June 29, in almost all major states, including Delhi, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Services such as cash deposits, withdrawals, cheque clearing, and loan-related activities are proceeding as usual in these states. However, there is one state where banking operations will remain suspended, and branches will stay closed today.

In which state are banks closed today, and why?

Today, Monday, all private and public sector banks—such as SBI, HDFC, PNB, Axis, and Kotak Mahindra—are completely closed in Himachal Pradesh.

A regional holiday has been declared in Himachal Pradesh today to mark Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti. This day is observed in honor of Kabir Das, a renowned 15th-century poet, philosopher, and social reformer. The RBI has designated this day as a bank holiday for Himachal Pradesh under the Negotiable Instruments Act.

For how many days will banks remain closed next week (June 29 to July 5)?

Looking at the week ahead, banking operations across most parts of the country will remain largely unaffected between June 29 and July 5, 2026. Banks will be closed for only one day during this entire week.

Holiday on July 5: Banks will remain closed only on July 5 during the upcoming week, as it is a Sunday (the weekly holiday). Banks across the country will function normally on all other working days. These digital services will remain operational even when banks are closed.

Customers in Himachal Pradesh—and people in other states during holidays—need not worry. Even if physical branches are closed, you can handle many banking tasks from the comfort of your home via digital channels:

Cash withdrawals and balance checks via ATMs

UPI payments using apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, and BHIM

Fund transfers via internet banking and mobile apps

Money transactions via NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS

Fixed Deposit (FD) and account management through online platforms

As per RBI guidelines, bank holidays vary by state depending on festivals and local observances; therefore, be sure to check the holiday list before stepping out for any major transaction.
