If you’re wondering about the status of bank operations today, you’re not alone. The topic Bank Holiday Today: Are Banks Open or Closed on Saturday August 2 has been trending across news and social media. According to the RBI bank holiday calendar, banks remain open on Saturday, August 2, 2025, because it falls on the first Saturday of the month and there are no additional public or regional holidays that day.

Typically, banks in India close only on the second and fourth Saturdays and all Sundays each month. However, operations are normal on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays, unless a holiday is clearly marked in the RBI list. This means if you're planning to visit a branch today for deposits, withdrawals, or documentation work, you should be able to do so without any issue. However, it's always a smart move to confirm before stepping out. Some states observe regional holidays that aren't nationwide. If you need services like cheque clearance or RTGS/NEFT transfers, these might still be affected by local observances or extended holiday schedules.

Digital services, including mobile banking, net banking, ATMs, and UPI, remain functional even on off days. That means even if branches are closed, you still have access to most essential banking tools.

In short, today is not a bank holiday, and branches across India are operating. If you’re heading out or planning work around banking, rest assured that Saturday, August 2, is business as usual.
