Bank Holiday On August 8: Will SBI, HDFC And ICICI Branches Be Closed Today?
NDTV Profit 2 hrs ago·8 Aug 2026, 2:05 am
On August 8, banks across India will remain closed for a public holiday. This day is observed as 'Raksha Bandhan,' a festival celebrating the bond between siblings. Consequently, major financial institutions, including the State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank, will not conduct regular business operations at their branches or ATMs.
For investors, this closure means that stock market trading will also be suspended. Since equity markets are closed on bank holidays, investors cannot buy or sell shares on this specific date. It is important to note that while physical branches are shut, digital banking services like mobile apps and internet banking will continue to function normally.
