Bank holiday today: Are banks open or closed on Saturday, July 19? Check here
Banks in Tripura will remain closed today, 19 July, due to celebration of Ker Puja.
There are bank holidays across India on the second and fourth Saturdays, as per RBI bank holiday rules. Since it is the first Saturday of the month, banks will remain open on July 19.
The RBI categorises all bank holidays into three parts, namely, Negotiable Instruments Act, Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) holidays and banks' closing of accounts.
This is why, bank holidays change depending upon the area you reside in.
Banks remain closed on all Sundays. Apart from weekends, bank holidays are based on national, regional and religious observances, depending on the state of residence. These holidays are determined by the RBI holiday calendar, which is released during the beginning of each year.
Online banking services do not follow bank holidays rule and remain available all throughout the year. This enables customers to get their needs addressed even on bank holidays. Online banking services can be used for various purposes including UPI access, money transfer, applying for online loan, net banking, requesting for a chequebook and other transactions.
Here is the full list of July 2025 bank holidays:
July 3 (Thursday) - Kharchi Puja: Banks were closed in Agartala
July 5 (Saturday) - Guru Hargobind Ji's Birthday: Banks were closed in Jammu and Srinagar
July 14 (Monday) - Beh Deinkhlam: Banks were closed in Shillong for Beh Deinkhlam

Customer complaints rising fast, bankers lacking empathy: RBI DG Swaminathan J
Mumbai: Reserve Bank Deputy Governor Swaminathan J has rued a "lack of empathy" among bankers, even in the face of rising number of customer complaints around serious aspects like fraud. Speaking at an event of RBI-promoted NIBM (National Institute of Bank Management) on July 12, Swaminathan said there is "increasing automation but decreasing ownership", and customers have to contend with template emails and helplines loop back "endlessly". He made it clear that addressing these issues will be essential if bankers were to sustain people's trust in the system. The Reserve Bank's website published the speech on Tuesday. "The number of customer complaints -- especially through digital channels -- has risen significantly in recent years. From social engineering frauds to poor grievance redressal, the loss and frustration is real. Often, the problem is not the product or service, but, as I see it, the real issue is a lack of empathy," the commercial banker-turned-regulator said in his valedictory address to the students. Live Events Nowadays, KYC (know your customer) is often reduced to a "periodic ritual", he said, exhorting bankers to find a way to bring back that personal awareness and responsibility even in a digital context. Enlisting instances like senior citizen's struggles with ATM PIN, a rural area borrower's challenges to repay a loan online or the worries of a small business owner over UPI payments, Swaminathan said these are not mere service requests, but opportunities to earn trust by giving time and patience, and showing professionalism. "Technology will enable the transaction. But only you can build the relationship and only you can earn the customer's trust for your institution," he said, stressing that this is what will distinguish a banker from an app. The DG said a banker has to act quickly, endure uncertainty, recover from setbacks, and stay focused over the long run. "You will face moments of rapid change -- crises, deadlines, audits, policy shifts -- but you will also need the discipline and stamina to navigate slow, complex processes that unfold over months or years," he told the students beginning a two-year post graduation course in banking. Empathy, curiosity, and integrity will define success for the students over a long term, he said. "What will truly shape you as a banker is your ability to blend knowledge with judgment, law with convention, and theory with practice," he said. Things will not go as planned, but the ability to embrace the unfamiliar and turn unexpected situations into learning experiences will set a student apart, he said, asking them to stay alert and course-correct early. Banking today is more complex than ever, he said, adding that there are also new vulnerabilities like cyber threats, phishing, synthetic identities, deepfakes, and third-party risks.
