Raksha Bandhan 2026 Bank Holiday: Are Banks Closed On August 28? Check State-Wise List
NDTV Profit 2d ago·28 Aug 2026, 3:30 am
Raksha Bandhan will be observed on Monday, August 28, 2026. This means all scheduled banking operations will remain suspended across the country for the day. Customers should not expect any cash withdrawals, deposit transactions, or fund transfers to go through on this specific date.
For investors, this holiday is significant because it marks the end of the traditional 'Muhurat Trading' window. While the stock market remains open, the closure of bank branches can temporarily slow down settlement processes for equity and mutual fund trades. It is a standard annual event that does not impact the long-term health of the financial system.
Moving forward, markets will resume normal operations on Tuesday, August 29. Investors should plan their transactions accordingly to avoid any processing delays during this holiday weekend.
