Get your important work done! Banks will remain closed on these dates in February, here's the RBI list.There will be several bank holidays across India in February 2026. Losar will be celebrated on February 18 in Sikkim. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti will be celebrated on February 19 in Maharashtra. State Foundation Day will be celebrated in Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh on February 20. Digital banking services will be available for customer convenience during these holidays.

February is the shortest month of the year, and this naturally means it has fewer holidays than other months. Consequently, February also has relatively fewer bank holidays. Bank holidays are limited to states, and are state-specific or festival-related. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announces state-specific bank holidays monthly.

According to RBI rules, banks are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month and all Sundays. This year too, banks will be closed on the second and fourth Saturdays, i.e., February 14th and 28th. Additionally, there are four Sundays on February 1st, 8th, 18th, and 22nd. This means there will be six holidays. However, Sunday, the 18th, is the Losar festival in Sikkim.

In this case, there will be one less holiday. Thus, bank holidays vary, to a greater or lesser extent, across various states. However, in February, banks will be closed on occasions like Losar, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, and Statehood Day/Statehood Day. Let us also tell you which dates in February will be Saturday and Sunday holidays in which states.

Here is the bank holiday list
