The second most key prominent Islamic festival, Id-ul-Ad’ha, has been around the corner. Accordingly, the festival will be celebrated on both June 6 and June 7, according to the position of the moon.
Generally, it has been reported that the government has declared June 7, 2025, as a public holiday, but there is still confusion about whether the banks will remain closed on June 6 or June 7.
Here is the answer to the above-asked question -
According to the official website of the Reserve Bank of India, the banks will remain closed on June 6, Friday, in just two states, i.e., Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram, and the remaining states will observe a holiday on June 7, Saturday. Notably, the banks will also remain closed on June 8, 2025, as the date falls on Sunday, which marks an official holiday in all banks.
Will banks be closed on June 7, 2025, for Bakri ID (Id-Uz-Zuha)?
Even though June 7, 2025, is a Saturday and the starting Saturday of the month, which is usually a working day for banks in India, most of them will be closed because state-specific regional holidays (Bakri ID (Id-Uz-Zuha)) apply to most of them. Both scheduled and non-scheduled banks will be on a public holiday in various states, though it is not on a regular second or fourth Saturday, which is the standard bank holiday.
Negotiable Holidays by RBI -
According to the Negotiable Instruments Act, there is a list of holidays that differ from one state to another, and notably, Bakri Eid falls under the same, which means that there could be a few states that will not close banks on June 6 or June 7.
Are banks closed in your state on June 7?
It is evident that the majority of the Indian states will observe a holiday on June 7, 2025, due to Bakri EID, which is officially named Id-Uz-Zuha. However, a few states, including Gujarat, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, and Kerala, will NOT be observing a holiday.
Bank Holidays in June 2025 -
According to the official calendar by the RBI, the banks will remain closed on Bakr Eid, Sant Guru Kabir Jayanti, Yath Yatra, and Remna Ni.
