Bank Holiday: Tomorrow i.e. Friday, June 6, 2025, banks will remain closed in many parts of the country. This news is especially for those who wanted to go to the bank to settle any important work. On this day, all the banks of the government and private sector will be closed in certain states, so customers have to make their plans in advance so that they do not face any problem. However, this holiday is not applicable across the country, but banks will remain closed only in one state, in the rest of the states banks will open and will continue their normal work. So let us understand why RBI has declared this holiday on June 6 and will it affect the banking services.
Why will banks remain closed on June 6?
In fact, on June 6, the festival of Eid-ul-Azha will be celebrated in the country, which is also known as Bakrid. This is a very special and sacred festival of Islam, which reflects the spirit of renunciation and sacrifice. On this day, Muslims offer special prayers and sacrifice the animal in the way of Allah. This is the reason why banks will remain closed on this day in states like Kerala, so that there is no problem in the preparation and organization of the festival. Big banks like SBI, PNB, HDFC and many other government and private banks will remain closed in Kerala on this day.
This festival reminds us of the obedience and dedication of Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to Allah, so this day has special significance across the country. In such a situation, bank employees are also given leave so that they can share the happiness of celebrating this festival with their family.
Will digital banking services also be closed?
Despite the holidays, digital banking services like net banking, mobile banking app, UPI, wallet and ATM will continue to work fully. This means that even if the bank branches are closed, you can do online transactions, send money and complete important work from home. If you have to deposit a check, get a draft made or open an account, then it would be better for you to complete these tasks before the holiday. Also, contact your nearest bank branch and get the correct and updated information so that there is no inconvenience during the holidays.
There are some other holidays in the month of June
Apart from June 6, there are some other special holidays in the month of June, which is important to take care of. Banks will remain closed on June 27 due to Rath Yatra i.e. Rath Jatra in Odisha and Manipur. At the same time, banks will remain closed on June 30 on the occasion of Remna Ni in Mizoram. Apart from this, banks will remain closed on June 8, June 14, June 15, June 22, June 28 and June 29 across the country due to Sunday and second-fourth Saturday.
