Banks across several Indian states are closed today, Saturday, March 21, 2026, for Ramzan-Id (Id-Ul-Fitr) celebrations. Although the third Saturday is typically a working day, festival observances have led to closures in select regions. Customers are advised to check state-wise schedules before visiting branches.
The Reserve Bank of India’s holiday calendar lists Ramzan-Id as a regional holiday, resulting in closures across multiple states. While online banking and ATMs remain functional, physical branches in certain regions will not operate today.
Festival Holiday Impact
Ramzan-Id is one of the major holidays observed under the RBI’s calendar. Depending on state-specific notifications, banks in regions such as Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Tripura are closed, while others remain operational.
State-Wise Variation
Unlike national holidays, banking holidays in India vary by state. Customers in states not observing Eid today may find branches open, while those in festival-observing regions will need to rely on digital banking services.
Customer Advisory
With closures in place, customers are encouraged to use mobile banking, net banking, and ATMs for urgent transactions. Businesses dependent on branch services should plan accordingly to avoid disruptions.
