Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti / Saga Dawa Bank Holiday Today: According to the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) 2025 holiday calendar, public-sector banks (PSBs) and private banking institutions in a few Indian cities will be closed on Wednesday, June 11, on account of Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti and Saga Dawa. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) outlines bank holidays in India, following the Negotiable Instruments Act, RTGS holidays, and other regional and national holidays. Additionally, banks are also closed on the mandatory weekly days off: the second Saturday and Sunday of every month. According to the RBI's calendar for the fiscal year 2025, 12 bank holidays have been designated for June 2025. Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti commemorates the birth anniversary of Kabir Das, a 15th-century Indian mystic poet, saint, and social reformer, known to promote spirituality, social equality, and harmony among religions. Whereas Saga Dawa is a sacred month-long Tibetan Buddhist festival celebrated primarily in Tibet, Sikkim, Ladakh, and other Himalayan regions, it honours three major events in the life of Lord Buddha Shakyamuni: his birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana (death). It's important to note that banks in only two Indian cities will observe closure, and the remaining will be operational as usual; below is the table of bank status for today: Source: RBI Holiday Calendar 2025 It's important to note that despite the physical closure of bank branches in Sikkim and Himachal Pradesh, essential banking services will continue to be available through digital and self-service platforms: Customers are encouraged to plan any in-branch visits around the holiday and make use of online options for uninterrupted banking.
