Bank Holiday: People have a question in their mind about the first Monday of Sawan, i.e. 14th July 2025, whether banks will be closed on this day? Since Monday has special significance in Sawan and many people observe fast on this day, there is confusion that there may be a bank holiday as well. But the reality is that on July 14, banks will be closed not across the country, but only in the state of Meghalaya. The reason for this is not Sawan, but a local festival.

Why will banks remain closed on July 14?

On July 14, a traditional festival called Beh Denkhlam will be celebrated in Meghalaya. This is the main festival of the Jaintia community, which means the day of freedom from diseases and evils. On this occasion, banking services will remain closed in Meghalaya, while all banks in other parts of the country will remain open as usual.
