Bank Holidays in Kerala during July

In July, there is no regional holiday in Kerala and as such except for one national holiday and regular bank holidays including Sundays and Second and Fourth Saturdays, banks will function as normal in the state. Banks in Kerala will remain closed for six days in the state in July 2024.

Except for gazetted holidays, banks are not the same across all the states in India. State-specific bank holidays in Kerala include Onam and Vishu. If Banks in Kerala are closed on the occasion of Onam it does not mean banks are also closed in other parts of the country.

All the banks including Karnataka Bank, Federal Bank, Jammu & Kashmir Bank, and Lakshmi Vilas Bank will remain closed on the bank holidays.

Ashura/ Muharram: It is a Muslim festival. Muharram is a public holiday in Kerala. It is the first month of the Islamic calendar. Few Muslims fast during the daytime on the ninth and 10th days of the month or the 10th and 11th days of the month. Some of them do attend special prayer meetings in private homes or mosques.
