Sawan Shivratri Bank Holiday 2025: Sawan Shivratri, a revered festival dedicated to Lord Shiva, will be celebrated on July 23, 2025. This is a significant religious observance, particularly in the northern states of India, where many government institutions and schools typically declare a holiday. With the festival approaching, a common question for many people is whether banks will remain operational on this day. It's important for depositors and the general public to be aware of bank working days in order to plan their financial activities accordingly.
Sawan Shivratri Bank Holiday 2025: Will Banks Remain Open Or Closed?
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) publishes a comprehensive list of bank holidays each year, taking into account national and regional festivals, as well as other public holidays. This official calendar dictates the days on which banks will remain closed.
Based on the RBI's holiday calendar, July 23, 2025 (Sawan Shivratri) is not currently listed as a bank holiday across India. This means that banks are expected to remain open as usual on Sawan Shivratri 2025, and all regular banking services should be available.

Even on bank holidays, various online banking services remain operational 24/7. This includes internet banking, mobile banking, and UPI (Unified Payments Interface). These services allow you to conveniently transfer funds, pay bills, and check account balances from anywhere, at any time.
Although banks are expected to be open on Sawan Shivratri 2025, it is always practical to plan your offline banking operations in advance, especially if there are other consecutive holidays in your region. This ensures smooth access to essential banking services without last-minute inconvenience.
