As 2025 comes to an end, many people are wondering whether banks will be open on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2026.
Since many offices and businesses remain closed for the holiday, it’s important to check before visiting a bank, especially if you have urgent transactions to handle.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) releases a list of bank holidays for every state and city, helping customers plan ahead.
Cities Where Banks Will Be Closed
According to the RBI’s holiday list, banks will remain closed in a few cities tomorrow.
These include:
Aizawl
Chennai
Gangtok
Imphal
Itanagar
Kohima
Kolkata
Shillong
If you live in one of these cities, avoid visiting bank branches tomorrow, as no services will be available.
In most other cities, including Delhi, banks will function as usual, and normal operations will continue.
Online Banking and ATMs Remain Active
Even if branches are closed, online banking services will still work.
Customers can:
Transfer funds
Pay bills
Check account balances
Make other digital transactions
Credit/debit cards and ATMs will also remain operational, so you can continue using them without any interruption.
Digital banking ensures that you can manage your finances from home, even on a bank holiday.
