Banking institutions across India remain closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, while Sundays are declared holiday under Section 25 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881. Besides these holidays, states and union territories (UTs) publish a list of public holidays where all government offices as well as banks remain closed in their respective geographies.

The three national public holidays are mandatorily followed by banks across the country, namely Republic Day (Jan. 26), Independence Day (Aug. 15), and Gandhi Jayanti (Oct. 2). On other days, banks operate as usual during normal banking hours. Most public sector banks operate from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. whereas private sector banks usually open at 9:30 a.m. and close at 3 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Forbes Advisor India has compiled a list of bank holidays that fall on Saturdays of the month in the year 2024 across states and UTs of India.
