🏦 Why These Holidays Matter

While most national holidays like Independence Day (August 15) affect banking operations across India, regional festivals such as Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi, and others cause closures in specific states. Hence, it’s crucial to refer to the state-wise list before stepping into your local bank branch.

Conclusion:
With 15 days of bank closures in August 2025, it's wise to manage your financial tasks in advance. Mark your calendars, check your regional holiday schedule, and rely on digital banking services when needed.
