The Reserve Bank of India has declared a public holiday on April 10, 2025, in observance of Mahavir Jayanti. Consequently, all banks across the country will remain closed. Customers are advised to plan their banking activities accordingly and utilize online services during this period.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has officially declared April 10, 2025, as a public holiday in honor of Mahavir Jayanti, a significant Jain festival commemorating the birth of Lord Mahavir. As a result, all banks nationwide will remain closed on this day.
Mahavir Jayanti is observed with great reverence across India, leading to the closure of various institutions, including banks. The RBI’s announcement aims to allow citizens to participate in the festivities and religious observances associated with this auspicious day.
Bank customers are encouraged to plan their financial transactions in advance to avoid any inconvenience due to the closure. While physical branches will not be operational, digital banking services such as online banking, mobile apps, and ATMs will remain functional, enabling customers to perform essential transactions seamlessly.
It’s noteworthy that this bank holiday falls just before the second Saturday (April 12) and Sunday (April 13) of the month, which are regular non-working days for banks. This sequence results in a prolonged weekend closure for banks. Therefore, customers should ensure that any critical banking needs are addressed ahead of this extended break.
For a comprehensive list of bank holidays and to stay informed about any regional variations, customers can refer to the official RBI holiday calendar or contact their local bank branches.
