Bank holiday alert: If you have to go to the bank to settle any work, then finish that work today itself, otherwise you will have to wait for a long time. In fact, tomorrow, on August 15, 2025 (Friday), all government and private banks will be closed across the country on the occasion of Independence Day.

The next day, on August 16, 2025 (Saturday), there will be a holiday on Sri Krishna Janmashtami in many states. This may delay your important work. Let us tell you that the calendar of bank holidays in the month of August is different according to the state and festivals. In many states, there can be a long weekend (15 to 17 August). Sunday is also a holiday on the weekday. In such a situation, finish the transaction and branch-related work in time.

Banks will remain closed on 15th and 16th August

Banks across the country will remain closed on August 15. On August 16, many states will have a holiday on Sri Krishna Janmashtami, while in some states the Parsi New Year (Shahenshahi) will also be celebrated on the same day, due to which banks will remain closed there too. However, this holiday is not applicable all over India, so in some states banks will remain open as usual on August 16. In this way, there will be a long weekend in many places between August 15 and 17, which also includes a regular holiday on Sunday (August 17).

Advice for customers

If you need RTGS, NEFT, check clearance, or branch visit during these days, then you should visit the branch only after checking. Customers are advised to complete important banking work like check clearance, cash withdrawal or other transactions before this period, as branch services will remain closed during the holidays, although ATM and online banking services will be available.
