Bank Holiday: There is an important information for bank customers. Today, Thursday 29 May 2025, a holiday has been declared in all government and private banks in Himachal Pradesh. This means that no work will be done by going to the bank branch. Although this holiday is valid only in the state of Himachal Pradesh, banks will remain open normally in all other states.

Why is there a bank holiday on 29 May?

Maharana Pratap Jayanti is celebrated on 29 May, due to which banks will remain closed in Himachal Pradesh. Maharana Pratap was a great and self-respecting warrior of India, who fought valiantly against the Mughals for the independence of Mewar. Tribute meetings, cultural programs and rallies are organized across the country on his birth anniversary. This day is given special importance in Himachal Pradesh, so the government there has declared a bank holiday.

Will online banking services be available?

Yes, despite the bank being closed, online banking services like UPI, IMPS, net banking, and mobile banking apps will remain fully active. Customers can send money, pay bills and do other transactions through these means. But if someone has to do work related to check clearance, demand draft or cash, then they will have to do this work when the bank branch opens.
