Bank Holiday Next Week: Only one holiday between February 2 and 8

With the new week set to begin, bank customers planning branch visits should note that there will be minimal disruption to banking services in the week starting February 2, 2026, according to the holiday calendar issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

Only one bank holiday between February 2 and 8

As per the RBI calendar, banks will remain closed only on Sunday, February 8, which is a regular weekend holiday observed across the country. There are no additional public or regional holidays during this period, meaning banks will function normally on all weekdays.

Bank holidays mainly affect services that require physical visits to bank branches, while digital banking services such as UPI, net banking and mobile banking remain operational.
