As the first Monday of Sawan falls on 14 July 2025, many people observing fasts are curious if banks will remain closed. While the occasion itself doesn’t warrant a nationwide bank holiday, banks will be closed in some regions for other reasons.
According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), banks will remain closed in Meghalaya on Monday, 14 July, due to the Beh Deinkhlam festival—a traditional celebration by the Jaintia community, observed to ward off diseases and evil spirits. However, banks in all other states will remain open as usual.
