Banks Open Across India Today as RBI Confirms Fifth Saturday Is a Working Day

Under RBI rules, the fifth Saturday is a working day, with Sunday as the next nationwide closure.

Overview

  • Branches nationwide are operating on Saturday, August 30, 2025, in line with the RBI holiday calendar.
  • Per RBI rules, first, third and fifth Saturdays are working days and only the second and fourth Saturdays are holidays, with Sunday, August 31, the next countrywide shutdown.
  • UPI, internet and mobile banking, NEFT/RTGS and ATMs remain available during branch closures for routine transactions.
  • September features state‑wise closures including Karma Puja in Jharkhand on September 3, First Onam in Kerala on September 4, and Id‑e‑Milad/Thiruvonam across several states on September 5–6.
  • A prominent report claiming a closure today conflicts with the RBI schedule, so customers should rely on the official calendar or check with their bank.
