Bank Holiday Today: Banks across the country are closed on Friday, August 15, on account of Independence Day 2025. Banks are set to be closed up to 3 days due to public holidays and weekends, though it may vary in different states.
India will celebrate its 79th Independence Day on August 15, 2025, commemorating the country’s independence from British rule in 1947.
However, customers will be able to access online services, including mobile banking and net banking, normally.
The next bank holiday is falling tomorrow, August 16 on the occasion of Janmashtami (Shravan Vad-8) / Krishna Jayanthi. However, as per RBI’s holiday list, banks in Aizawl, Chennai, Hyderabad, Patna, Raipur, Ranchi, Vijayawada, Gangtok, Chandigarh, Jammu, Srinagar will be closed.
However, this isn’t a country-wide holiday and no 2nd or 4th Saturday, so banks in other parts will remain open.
Janmashtami, also known as Krishna Janmashtami or Gokulashtami, is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. It typically falls in August or September, on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in the month of Bhadrapada, according to the Hindu lunar calendar.
