Bank Holidays 2025: Are banks open or closed today, June 7?
Muharram marks the beginning of the Islamic New Year, which was marked yesterday, on July 6, 2025 (Sunday), as the date for Ashura, the 10th day of Muharram. It is the first month of the Islamic calendar and one of the holiest times for Muslims. The day is marked by the Muslim community with prayers, religious gatherings, and mourning processions.
The 10th day, called Ashura, is especially important for Shia Muslims. It remembers the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, who died in the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD.
Banks across India were closed this weekend, on Saturday, on account of Guru Hargobind Ji's Birthday and a mandatory weekly off on Sunday – in addition to seven listed bank holidays in July this year, as designated by the RBI.
According to the RBI Calendar for 2025, banks in India will operate as usual, with no holidays indicated for Monday, July 7, 2025.
The RBI lists bank holidays based on national and local occasions, operational requirements, religious celebrations, and other cultural observances.
Customers should be aware that, notwithstanding the holidays, internet banking services continue to operate normally on bank holidays.
Most schools in India reopen in early July after summer vacation ends in June. In northern states like Uttar Pradesh, classes have already started. Other than Muharram, there are no major holidays in early July. The CBSE has released the 2025–26 academic calendar, which includes holidays for national festivals, regional events, and seasonal breaks.

Mumbai court grants pre-arrest bail to New India Co-operative Bank's former CEO in cheating case
Mumbai: A court on Tuesday granted pre-arrest bail to former CEO of New India Co-operative Bank Abhimany Bhoan in a cheating and criminal breach of trust case, saying prima facie there was no material to show his role in the alleged crime. His anticipatory bail plea was allowed by additional sessions judge N G Shukla on July 5. The detailed order was made available on Tuesday. Bhoan is in judicial custody since Feb following his arrest in a related case probed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police. You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai In the case at hand, the prosecution alleged that while serving as the bank's CEO, Bhoan, along with bank chairman Ranjit Bhanu (deceased) and vice-chairman Gauri Ranjit Bhanu, accepted a one-time settlement (OTS) proposal from Percept Group of Companies of Rs 61.3 crore for the company's outstanding loan amount of Rs 79.9 crore. The settlement allegedly caused the bank a wrongful loss of Rs 18.56 crore, it said. The police further alleged that Bhoan and the co-accused received nearly Rs 6.4 crore in their bank accounts from the company in exchange for accepting the OTS proposal. Hence, the FIR came to be lodged against Bhoan and other accused under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for cheating, criminal breach of trust and criminal conspiracy. Bhoan's advocate, Wesley Moneza, contended that he was appointed as the CEO in 2019 and had no role in accepting the OTS proposal. He highlighted that the previous OTS applications by Percept Group were rejected by the board of directors and Bhoan himself. The OTS in contention was accepted on Oct 19, 2023, as per the RBI guidelines issued on June 8, 2023, the advocate submitted. He further contended that there was no chance of recovering the loan by auctioning mortgage property, and hence, the OTS was accepted by the board of directors. There was no cheating and wrongful loss to the bank, Moneza said. The court noted the investigating officer had not sought Bhoan's custodial interrogation despite him being in judicial custody in another crime. Hence, it seems that the police do not really require Bhoan's custodial interrogation, the court said. The judge held that in the case, Bhoan as the bank CEO had placed the OTS proposal given by Percept Group Companies before the board meeting. "Prima facie, there is no material showing role of applicant in taking decision of according approval to said proposal," the court ruled, while allowing his plea. Earlier this year, New India Cooperative Bank was hit by an alleged Rs 122 crore embezzlement of funds by top management, and has been under an RBI-appointed administrator since then.

Why UAE's new Golden Visa norms marks a significant shift for Indian investors? The recent overhaul of the UAE's Golden Visa marks a significant shift in the country's residency landscape, industry experts recently said. The new framework is more inclusive and strategically aligned with the UAE's long-term vision. The nomination-based Golden Visa programme will allow foreign citizens, including Indians, to have a lifetime residency by paying a fixed amount of AED 1,00,000 (approximately Rs 23.3 lakh). According to Akash Puri, Director International, India Sotheby's International Realty, this change brings a two-pronged impact for Indian real estate investors. 'For Indian investors, this is a cue to recalibrate: from residency-led transactions to value-led strategies. Over time, this evolution could establish a more stable, resilient real estate market — one that rewards strategic, long-term participation over short-term speculation,' Puri emphasised.
