Overview: A Short Month with Few Breaks
February 2026 is relatively light on banking holidays. The biggest festival, Mahashivratri, falls on a Sunday (Feb 15), meaning customers will not face a mid-week disruption. However, customers in Maharashtra and North East India should plan ahead for regional closures.
📅 The “Second Saturday” Coincidence
This year, February 14 (Valentine’s Day) coincides with the Second Saturday. Therefore, all banks across India (Public & Private) will remain CLOSED on Feb 14.
