Contrary to what some may assume due to the celebration of International Yoga Day, banks across India will remain open today, Saturday, June 21, 2025, as per the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) holiday calendar. Since this Saturday is the third Saturday of the month, it is a regular working day for banks.

As per RBI norms, bank branches remain closed on all Sundays and the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. However, they operate normally on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays, unless there is an official public holiday declared by state or central authorities.

No Bank Holiday For Yoga Day

Although International Yoga Day is being celebrated today across the nation, it is not marked as an official bank holiday. The RBI has not declared June 21, 2025, as a non-working day for financial institutions, which means all scheduled banking operations and customer services will be available during regular working hours.

Upcoming Bank Closures

For those planning financial tasks, it is useful to keep an eye on the next scheduled bank closures. Banks will remain shut on Sunday, June 22, as per the weekend schedule. Additionally, Friday, June 27, will see bank closures in Odisha and Manipur due to regional festivals Ratha Yatra and Kang (Rathajatra), respectively.
