Private and public sector banks in India will remain open today, 4 July, according to the Reserve Bank of India’s holiday calendar. Customers planning to visit branches of SBI, HDFC, ICICI or other banks should note that banks will operate as usual today. While some customers could be confused since today is a Saturday, RBI’s official guidelines mandate that the second and fourth Saturdays and every Sunday in each month are weekend holidays for all banks.
Saturdays, Sundays listed as holidays in July 2026
Since it is first Saturday of the month, banks operations will resume as normal and customers can approach banks for offline services. However, banks remain closed on the occasion of festivals and regional holidays. These holidays are in addition to weekend offs, common national and gazetted holidays.

This implies that, customers will not be able to access in-branch services on these days, but online services remain operational. Given below is the list of weekend holidays this month.
