Banks will be closed on all Sundays (June 1, 8, 15, 22, 29) and the second and fourth Saturdays (June 14, 28) nationwide, as per RBI guidelines.

Eid-ul-Adha (Bakrid) triggers closures in Kerala on June 6 (Friday), while the rest of the country will observe Bakrid on June 7 (Saturday). This creates a long weekend in Kerala, with banks closed June 6-8.
