Bank holiday on Monday: Banks will be closed tomorrow, July 28 - Here's why
Bank holidays 2025: If you were planning a visit to the bank tomorrow, you may need to postpone it. All public and private sector banks will remain closed in Sikkim on Monday, July 28, 2025, as per the official RBI bank holiday calendar. The closure is due to Drukpa Tshe-zi, a significant Buddhist festival celebrated in Sikkim. RBI Announces Bank Holiday in Sikkim for Drukpa Tshe-zi According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar, July 28, 2025, has been marked as a bank holiday in Sikkim. This day is observed as Drukpa Tshe-zi, an important religious occasion for followers of the Drukpa Buddhist sect. The festival commemorates the first sermon given by Lord Buddha after attaining enlightenment. On this auspicious occasion, locals participate in religious ceremonies at monasteries, wear traditional attire, chant prayers, and perform sacred rituals with deep devotion. Due to the cultural importance of this festival, banks across Sikkim will stay shut for the day. What Services Will Be Affected During This Bank Holiday? While internet and mobile banking services will remain operational during this bank holiday, several banking activities that require a physical visit to the branch will be unavailable. These include: Updating or submitting KYC documents Depositing or withdrawing large amounts of cash Accessing safety locker facilities Registering complaints regarding failed in-branch transactions Closing or modifying joint bank accounts Customers in Sikkim are advised to complete their in-person banking tasks either before or after July 28 to avoid any inconvenience. Why RBI Declares State-Specific Bank Holidays The RBI issues an annual list of bank holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act. This list is prepared after coordination with respective state governments, taking into account local festivals, religious observances, and regional events. Each holiday ensures that religious and cultural traditions are respected while giving banking employees a chance to participate in community observances. The RBI publishes these dates on its official website and informs all financial institutions accordingly.
