Rabindranath Tagore Jayanti each year offers a chance to reflect on his significant contributions to Indian literature, art, and culture.

He gifted India the national anthem, Jana Gana Mana, and through his works, he promoted Indian culture globally.

When will banks be closed in May?

In May 2026, banks will be closed nationwide on Sundays: May 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31. They will also be closed on May 9, the second Saturday, and Rabindranath Tagore Jayanti. Additionally, banks will be closed on May 23, the fourth Saturday.

Moreover, some dates will be specific holidays for certain states. Statehood Day will be observed in some regions on May 16th.

Banks may also be closed on May 26 due to Kazi Nazrul Islam Jayanti.

Banks will be closed in most states on May 27-28 in observance of Eid al-Adha.

16 May Bank Holiday

After May 9th, banks will be closed on May 16th. Banks will remain closed in only one city on May 16th, Gangtok. Banks will be closed on this day due to State Day.

Even though bank branches are closed, digital payment methods like UPI and IMPS are active for instant fund transfers. You can easily pay your credit card balance through your mobile app or net banking portal. While many banks consider the next working day after a holiday as the official payment due date, this depends entirely on your bank’s policy, so it’s best not to take the risk.

Keep these things in mind on holidays

Nowadays, most automated clearing house systems, such as NACH, operate on all days, including Saturdays and Sundays. This means your loan EMI could still be deducted from your account. Therefore, maintain a sufficient balance in your bank account to avoid bounce charges or any penalties. If a payment fails, credit card companies typically offer a three-day grace period on interest.
