Today, July 23, 2025, marks the auspicious occasion of Sawan Shivratri, celebrated with great devotion, especially in North India. With schools, colleges, and some government offices shut in certain regions, many are wondering — are banks also closed today?
No. According to the Reserve Bank of India’s official holiday list, there is no bank holiday declared on July 23, 2025 for Sawan Shivratri. That means, in most parts of the country, banks will remain open today, functioning as usual.
Every year, RBI releases a list of regional and national bank holidays, depending on festivals, local customs, and regional observances. Sawan Shivratri is not included in this year's official bank holiday list.
Even if a branch is closed for a local reason, digital services remain unaffected:
Net Banking
Mobile Apps
UPI
ATM services
All these remain active 24/7, so you can transfer money, check balances, and pay bills without visiting a branch.
Here are the remaining bank holidays for this month:
July 26 (Saturday): Fourth Saturday – Banks closed across India
July 27 (Sunday): Weekly holiday – All banks closed
July 28 (Monday): Sikkim only – Banks closed due to Drukpa Tshe-Zi festival
July 3: Kharchi Puja (Agartala)
July 5: Guru Hargobind Jayanti (Jammu, Srinagar)
July 14: Beh Deinkhlam (Shillong)
July 16: Harela (Dehradun)
July 17: Death Anniversary of U Tirot Sing (Shillong)
July 19: Ker Puja (Agartala)
If you’re planning to visit a bank today, you’re good to go. Sawan Shivratri is not a bank holiday in most places, so banks are open on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. For regional exceptions, it’s always good to check your local branch or state-wise bank notice.
