Bank Holidays in October 2025: RBI Holiday List
Bank Holidays | New Delhi, October 1: As October 2025 approaches, it’s essential to keep track of bank holidays—especially those set out by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)—so you can plan your financial transactions, visits to bank branches, and other banking-related activities.
RBI’s Role & Reference for Bank Holidays
The RBI publishes a holiday calendar each year indicating when all banks must remain closed, including public, private, cooperative, rural and local area banks. These holidays include national, gazetted, festival and regional holidays. (RBI’s official holiday notifications are the primary source for branch closures.)
Every month, RBI mandates closure on:
All Sundays
Second and fourth Saturdays
These are common non-working days for banks nationwide under RBI guidelines.
In addition, RBI recognises gazetted holidays (applicable across many or all states) and regional festival holidays (applicable in specific states) according to their holiday calendar.
