In the last week of February 2026, banks across the country will be shut on several days. To get all your important bank work done without any hassle, check out this complete list of holidays.

Banks

February's last week is just around the corner. Banks will be closed on several days this week. So, customers should definitely know about these holidays to plan their work.

Bank Holidays

On February 28, a fourth Saturday, bank branches across India will be shut. But don't panic! Digital services like ATMs, UPI, mobile banking, and internet banking will work just fine.

Reserve Bank of India

The Reserve Bank of India issues a holiday calendar, but holidays can be different in every state. That's why customers should first check their local bank's schedule.

February Bank Holidays

February 28, 2026, is the fourth Saturday of the month. As per the Reserve Bank of India's rules, all government and private bank branches across the country will remain closed on this day.

What's Available

Bank unions had a long-standing demand for these holidays, and the RBI made it a rule in 2015 to keep banks closed on the second and fourth Saturdays. This means you can't do any in-branch transactions on February 28. If you're thinking of updating your KYC, making a Demand Draft, or using your locker, it's best to plan ahead.

Digital Transactions

Even though branches are closed, you don't need to worry. Digital transactions will be fully active. Internet banking, UPI, mobile apps, and ATMs will be available 24/7. However, some services like NEFT or RTGS might work only during specific hours or could be slightly delayed on a holiday.

Bank Holidays

To wrap it up, holiday lists can be different in various Indian states because of regional events. So, it's always a good idea for customers to check their local bank's notice board or official website. A little bit of advance financial planning can save you from a lot of last-minute trouble.
