RBI Holiday Calendar Clarifies: Banks Open on First Saturday

If you’re planning a bank visit today, here’s the clarity you need: banks across India are open on Saturday, 7 February 2026. The RBI’s official holiday calendar specifies that banks remain closed only on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, in addition to Sundays and state-specific holidays.

While February 2026 includes nine scheduled holidays across India, today does not fall under that list. Customers can therefore access branch services as usual, while continuing to use digital banking platforms for convenience.

Key Highlights

• RBI mandates closures on second and fourth Saturdays; today is the first Saturday.
• Banks are open nationwide on 7 February 2026.
• February 2026 has nine holidays, including regional observances like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti (Feb 19).
• Customers advised to check the RBI holiday calendar for state-specific closures.
• Digital banking services remain available 24/7 for transactions.

This clarification ensures smoother planning for individuals and businesses relying on in-branch services today.
