Bank Holidays in India 2025: Are banks open or closed today, July 28?
Drukpa Tshe-zi Bank Holiday 2025: Public-sector banks (PSBs) and private banking institutions will be closed today, on Monday, July 28, according to the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) 2025 holiday calendar. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sets bank holidays in India, following the Negotiable Instruments Act, which includes RTGS holidays, regional and national holidays, alongside the standard weekly days off, which are the second Saturday and Sunday of each month.
Drukpa Tshe-zi is observed on the fourth day (Tshe-zi) of the sixth month (Drukpa) in the Tibetan lunar calendar. It commemorates the day that Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon on the Four Noble Truths to his first five disciples in the Deer Park at Sarnath, over 2500 years ago, after achieving enlightenment.

It's important to note that despite the physical closure of bank branches in Shillong, 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.
