Practical Tips for Bank Users

  1. Plan branch visits on non-holiday weekdays or on today (21 June).

  2. Avoid 6–7 June for in‑person services—branched were largely closed.

  3. Stay digitally active—net-banking, UPI, and ATMs worked throughout June.

  4. Check state specifics—if you handle banking in Odisha, Mizoram, etc., note local holidays.

Takeaway

  • Today (21 June 2025): Banks are open nationwide.

  • It's a third Saturday and International Day of Yoga, but not a holiday for banks.

  • For the remainder of June, branch closures occur only on mentioned Sundays, holidays, and second/fourth Saturdays—digital banking remains unaffected.

Why It Matters

  • Consumers: Avoid surprise branch closures.

  • Businesses: Schedule financial tasks (cheques, DDs, cash handling) on open days.

  • Digital Users: Rely on continuous online services.

Conclusion

As of Saturday, 21 June 2025, banks across India are open and operating normally. Being the third Saturday of the month, it is a working day as per the Reserve Bank of India's guidelines. There is no national or state-specific bank holiday affecting services today.

While June 21 is also observed as the International Day of Yoga, it has no bearing on banking operations. Customers can safely visit their bank branches for in-person services or continue using digital banking platforms like UPI, internet banking, and ATMs without interruption.
