As per the RBI bank holiday calendar, banks will be closed for up to 15 days in August across different parts of India. However, this does not mean that all banks across locations will close for 15 days, as bank holidays differ from region to region.
The bank holidays in August include holidays due to Ganesh Chaturthi, Rakshabandhan, Independence Day, Janmashtami as well as listed holidays on weekends.
Banks are closed on each Sunday and the second and fourth Saturdays across India. Banks in India, including State Bank of India (SBI), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank, will also be closed on August 15 due to Independence Day celebrations.
