Bank Holiday Tomorrow? RBI Calendar Update for Customers
Bank Holiday: Are banks open tomorrow, Saturday? This is a question that pops up in people’s minds every Saturday. The Reserve Bank of India actually announces that banks are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. So, banks are not open on these days. In simple terms, banks are closed on both Saturdays. Since tomorrow is also a Saturday, this question is back on people’s minds. Let’s figure out the answer.
Will banks be closed tomorrow?
Tomorrow, February 14th, is the second Saturday of the month. That means all banks across the country will be closed. So, if you were thinking of heading to the bank tomorrow to get things done, you should do it today. If today doesn’t work for you, you’ll have to wait until Monday.

Work won’t stop just because the bank is closed
If you’re anxious about bank closures, there’s no need to worry. Most of your banking tasks can still be handled even when the banks are closed. If you need to take out cash, ATMs are available 24/7. Plus, if you want to send money to someone, you can easily do that using UPI. And if you have cash on hand, you can deposit it through the machines outside the banks.
What bank services will remain operational?
Customers can utilize online services even during bank holidays since digital services such as UPI, Mobile Banking, and Internet Banking remain unaffected by these holidays. You can access net banking via the official website or mobile app of your bank. This service allows you to perform money transfers, pay bills, and check your account balance.
The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) provides a secure method for transferring money. Simply use UPI applications like Google Pay, PhonePe, or Paytm.In addition, customers can take advantage of various services such as fund transfers, mobile recharges, and utility bill payments through their bank’s mobile app on smartphones.
ATMs are always operational for cash withdrawals, balance inquiries, and obtaining mini statements. You can also enjoy features like cardless cash withdrawals at ATMs.
Note: Customers should verify holiday information with their local bank branch before visiting, as bank holidays in India can differ based on local festivals in various states. For the latest updates, you can also check the official RBI website or your bank’s app.
