Bank holiday on Sawan Shivratri 2025: Are banks closed tomorrow, July 23 on Shivratri?
Bank holiday tomorrow: Sawan Shivratri will be observed on July 23 2025. It is considered an auspicious day dedicated to Lord Shiva. On this festival, many parts of the country will observe holidays in schools and government offices, especially in the northern states where the Kanwar Yatra has a strong influence. This has led to confusion among people about whether banks will remain closed on Wednesday, July 23, for Sawan Shivratri. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) releases a list of bank holidays every year, which includes national festivals, local events, and regional holidays. However, RBI has not declared a bank holiday on July 23. According to the RBI calendar, there is no holiday for Sawan Shivratri. This means that banks will remain open on Wednesday. Even during holidays, online services like net banking, mobile banking and UPI will work round-the-clock. So, you can still transfer money, pay bills, or check your balance easily. But if you need to deposit a cheque, get a draft made, or deposit or withdraw cash, it's better to do these tasks in advance — especially in states where banks will remain closed for two or more days in a row. RBI's Bank Holiday List for July 2025 The RBI issues a monthly bank holiday list that reflects the diversity of Indian states and their cultural events. July 2025 includes 13 bank holidays, including national weekends, religious festivals, and regional events.
