Mahashivratri bank holiday 2025: Banks in some cities across India will remain closed on the occasion of Mahashivratri today, February 26, 2025. The holiday has been announced as per the list issued by the Reserve Bank of India at the start of each calendar year.
Having prior knowledge of bank holidays can help with better financial planning. It allows you to make informed decisions before visiting your local bank branch, only to find that it is closed for a holiday. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the city-wise holiday list set by the RBI.
It should be noted that not every city will observe a bank holiday today, February 26, 2025. This is because the Mahashivratri bank holiday has been declared under what is officially known as the Negotiable Instruments Act. In simple terms, this means that the holiday can be subject to negotiation.
Additionally, banks are usually closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, as well as on all Sundays.
