Bank Holidays in Madhya Pradesh during June

Except for gazetted holidays, banks are not the same across all the states in India. If Banks in Madhya Pradesh are closed on one particular day it does not mean banks are also closed in other parts of the country.

All the banks including ICICI Bank, DCB Bank, Federal Bank and Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Limited will remain closed on the bank holidays in Madhya Pradesh.

The state of Madhya Pradesh is located right in the middle of the country, which is why it is called "Madhya", which means central. It is the second-largest state in India, in terms of land area. The state is of great historical importance as it was the seat for the Mauryas, Guptas, and a host of other Rajput kings. On a bank holiday in Madhya Pradesh, you can visit various tourist hotspots like the popular Kanha National Park, Van Vihar National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park. Indore, Jabalpur, Gwalior, and Ujjain. Hindi is the official language of the state, though there is a significant number of people who also speak Marathi.

The second week and the fourth week of Saturday are declared Bank holidays by the central government. During these two days, the nationalized banks, and public and private sector banks will remain closed.

In the month of June, banks will remain closed for seven days. The days when banks will remain closed in Madhya Pradesh include:

June 9 - Sunday

June 15 - Saturday

June 16- Sunday

June 17 - Monday (Id-ul-Ad’ha (Bakrid)

June 23 - Sunday

June 29 - Saturday

June 30 - Sunday

Apart from regional holidays, Madhya Pradesh also has regional holidays.

Thus, if banks in other states are open on a certain date it is not necessary that banks in Madhya Pradesh will also remain open on that day. During these bank holidays in Madhya Pradesh, the banks are closed. As per an understanding between the Indian Banks' Association and All India Bank Employees Association, all public sector banks in Madhya Pradesh and other states of India are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month.

In Madhya Pradesh, bank holidays do not mean people will not have access to net banking facilities. Even when banks are closed people can conduct financial transactions via online mode.
