Bank Holidays in July 2022: The month of July this year is at its last legs with only eight days left. However, out of these few days, there are four bank holidays still left in July, mainly because of weekends. The Reserve Bank of India, in its rules for implementing bank holidays, has said that lenders will be closed for the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, but will work on other Saturdays. The central bank prepares a monthly list of bank holidays at the beginning of each year, according to which lenders of specific regions remain closed. As per that calendar, there is one more regional bank holiday in July to be implemented.

There is a bank holiday on July 23 and 24 due to the weekend, where all lenders across private and public sectors will be closed in the country. Apart from this, on July 31, there is also a weekend leave for a Sunday. There is a regional holiday on July 26 on the occasion of Ker Puja in Tripura, when banks across the state will be closed.

It must be noted that many bank holidays are regional and may differ from state to state and bank to bank. There were 14 bank holidays in July, 10 of which have been used up. However, some bank holidays are region-specific, like the one mentioned above.

The Reserve Bank fixes the bank holidays each year under three categories, including the Negotiable Instruments Act, Holiday, Real Time Gross Settlement Holiday and Banks’ Closing of Accounts. Among these, the ‘Holiday under Negotiable Instruments Act’ categorisation sees the highest number of holidays. Branches of all public sector, private sector, foreign banks, cooperative banks and regional banks remain shut on notified holidays by the Reserve Bank of India.
