In May 2026, banks across India will observe several holidays, impacting operations for customers. Notably, banks will be closed on May 17 (Sunday) as part of the mandatory weekend holiday. Additionally, they were closed on May 1 for May Day and will close again on May 27 for Bakrid (Eid al-Adha). The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has outlined a total of nine holidays for the month, including weekends and public holidays. It's essential for customers to stay informed about these closures to avoid delays in banking services. While physical branches will be closed, online banking will remain operational, allowing customers to conduct transactions via mobile apps and UPI services at any time. Customers are encouraged to check with their local bank branches for specific holiday schedules, as bank holidays can vary by region due to local observances.
