Several regions across India will see bank closures on Saturday, June 7, 2025, in observance of Bakrid, as per the Reserve Bank of India’s official holiday calendar. While the first Saturday of the month typically sees banks operating normally, exceptions have been made in states where Bakrid has been listed as a public holiday.

Bakrid, or Eid al-Adha, is a major Islamic festival and marks a significant event in the Muslim calendar. This year, the festival falls on June 7, aligning with the first Saturday of the month. As a result, banking services in various parts of the country will be temporarily suspended for the day.

In contrast, regular banking operations will continue in Ahmedabad, Gangtok, and Itanagar, as these cities have not declared a holiday for Bakrid on the RBI list.

Additionally, banks observe closures on various national, regional, and religious holidays, which differ from one state to another.
