Banks across several Indian states will remain closed on multiple dates in June 2026 due to regional festivals and religious observances, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar. The closures vary by state, and customers—including corporate treasury departments—are advised to check the state-wise list to avoid disruptions in banking services.
State-Wise Bank Holiday Dates in June 2026
The following table summarises the bank holidays scheduled for June 2026 by state and reason, as reported by the Business-Today desk:
| Date | States/UTs | Occasion |
|---|---|---|
| 15 June | Odisha, Mizoram | YMA Day and Raja Sankranti |
| 25 June | Andhra Pradesh | Moharrum |
| 26 June | Tripura, Mizoram, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh | Muharram or Ashoora |
| 29 June | Himachal Pradesh | Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti |
| 30 June | Mizoram | Remna Ni |
In addition to these festival-related closures, banks across the country are also shut on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, as per RBI guidelines.
Digital Banking Remains Fully Operational
Despite the branch closures on these dates, digital banking channels will be fully operational. According to the source, customers can continue to access:
- Internet banking for money transfers, bill payments, and account management.
- Mobile banking applications for all routine transactions.
- ATMs for cash withdrawals and balance enquiries.
- UPI platforms for real-time peer-to-peer and merchant payments.
These digital services ensure that most banking needs can be met without visiting a physical branch. However, services that require physical presence will not be available on non-working days. These include:
- Cheque processing – Cheques deposited on a holiday will be processed on the next working day, delaying clearing cycles.
- Issuance of demand drafts – Not available until the branch reopens.
- Large cash transactions – High-value deposits or withdrawals that exceed ATM limits or require branch intervention will be delayed.
Implications for Treasury and Trade Finance Professionals
For CFOs, treasury directors, and trade finance professionals, the staggered state holidays in June 2026 create specific operational risks. Companies with cross-state operations must note that while some states are closed, others remain open, potentially disrupting inter-state payment flows or cheque collections.
Key points for planning:
- Cheque clearing cycles: Cheques drawn on banks in states observing a holiday will see a one-day delay in clearing. Treasury teams should schedule outgoing payments to avoid dating on or immediately before a closure.
- Large cash transactions: Any cash requirement above ATM withdrawal limits must be planned for the preceding or following working day. This is especially critical for businesses in retail, logistics, or manufacturing that need to make vendor payments or payroll disbursements.
- Demand drafts and bank guarantees: Issuance of demand drafts or bank guarantees will not be possible on holidays. Trade finance operations that rely on these instruments should ensure they are obtained well in advance.
- Digital fallback: Encouraging counterparties to adopt UPI or NEFT/RTGS via digital channels can mitigate delays. Since digital banking remains active, fund transfers between accounts can proceed normally even on holidays.
State-Specific Notes
- June 15: Odisha and Mizoram observe YMA Day and Raja Sankranti, respectively. Companies with significant operations in these states should plan accordingly.
- June 25: Andhra Pradesh closes for Moharrum. This is a single-state closure; neighbouring Telangana and Karnataka remain open.
- June 26: This is the most widespread closure, affecting 15 states and union territories. Treasury teams with national operations should treat this as a near-pan-India holiday for banking services.
- June 29: Himachal Pradesh closes for Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti.
- June 30: Mizoram observes Remna Ni, another single-state closure.
The article from Business-Today advises customers to rely on digital platforms and plan essential banking tasks in advance to avoid delays. This guidance is particularly relevant for finance professionals who must ensure liquidity and payment continuity across disparate state holiday calendars.
