- Digital banking services like UPI and net banking remain operational.
School summer vacations run through most of June, and with many families either travelling or catching up on pending financial paperwork, an unplanned trip to a shut branch can waste more than just an afternoon.
The good news is that disruptions this week will be limited. Banks are open through Saturday, June 6, with only Sunday, June 7, marked as a holiday for the week.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has notified 11 bank holidays for June 2026, applicable to lenders including the State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, and Bank of Baroda. The list covers all Sundays, the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, and select national and regional public holidays.
Are Banks Open This Saturday, June 6?
Banks will be open this Saturday, June 6. It falls on the first Saturday of the month, and lenders remain operational on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays. Only the second and fourth Saturdays are treated as mandatory holidays.

Online Banking During Bank Holidays
Branch closures do not affect most digital banking services.
UPI payments continue to function normally on holidays, covering money transfers, bill payments, and QR code transactions at merchants. NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS transfers are also available round the clock, including on Sundays and gazetted holidays. ATMs stay operational for cash withdrawals, balance checks, and mini statements.
Net banking and mobile banking apps can be used for account statements, document downloads, standing instruction changes, and request tracking.
Services That Require A Branch Visit
Some transactions cannot be completed remotely. Cash and cheque deposits at the counter, demand draft issuance, bank locker access, and in-person KYC verification all require a branch to be open.
