So, according to RBI, banks in some parts of the country will remain closed on the account of Eid-ul-Ad’ha (Bakrid) on Friday, June 6.

What is Eid-ul-Adha

Eid ul-Adha, also known as Bakrid, will be celebrated on Saturday, June 07, 2025. Its origins can be traced back to the story of Prophet Ibrahim who received a divine command to sacrifice his son as a test of his devotion to Allah. It is a day when people reflect on spiritual renewal, devotion and submission to Allah.

What can customers do during bank holidays ?

During the bank holiday, customers will not be able to conduct any cheque transactions or transactions related to promissory notes. However they can access their accounts through net banking, mobile applications and ATM, that will remain in service.

RBI has declared a total of 5 holidays in Junes including on June 6, 7, 11, 27 and on June 30. Additionally, bank holidays are also observed every second and fourth Saturdays.
