Bank branches across India will observe 12 closures throughout May 2026 based on regional festivals and local observances. The Reserve Bank of India issues the official holiday calendar, with closures varying significantly by state. Customers should plan branch visits, cheque submissions, and cash withdrawals in advance as physical branches will be closed on scheduled dates. However, digital banking services remain unaffected during all holidays. UPI, net banking, mobile apps, and ATM access will continue operating normally. Major closure dates include May 1 for Labour Day across major cities, May 27 and 28 for Eid-ul-Adha in multiple states, and various regional festivals. Kolkata and Gangtok face higher closure counts due to additional state-specific observances. Planning ahead ensures seamless banking operations despite branch closures.
