Axis Bank Holidays 2026 — Complete State-Wise List

Axis Bank Holidays 2026: Full List by Month and State

Axis Bank branches across India shut down for national holidays, state-level festivals, and regional observances throughout 2026. Between public holidays, Sundays, and the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, most branches log well over 90 non-working days a year. Knowing which dates apply to your city can save you a last-minute trip to a locked branch door — especially when an EMI or a salary-day deposit is on the line.

The tables below break down every Axis Bank holiday in 2026 by month, with the exact states and cities where each closure applies. State-specific closures follow RBI guidelines, so two branches in different cities may have different holiday schedules even within the same week.

Non-working days that apply to every Axis Bank branch, nationwide:

• All Sundays
• Second and fourth Saturdays of every month

Upcoming Holidays

Three holidays are coming up in quick succession this April:

• Bengali New Year's Day / Vishu / Himachal Day — 15 April 2026
• Bohag Bihu — 16 April 2026

If your branch falls in any of the affected states, plan critical transactions before the 14th.

Why Festival Dates Shift Every Year — And What That Means for Your Planning

Festivals like Holi, Eid, and Diwali don't sit on fixed calendar dates. They move with the lunar cycle, which is why Diwali lands in October some years and November in others. The dates listed in this article reflect published 2026 schedules — but for lunar holidays specifically, it's worth double-checking closer to the date, since official confirmation occasionally shifts by a day based on moon sighting.

For bank holidays tied to national observances like Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti, the dates are fixed and won't change.

Axis Bank Holidays 2026: What People Ask Most

How many non-working days does Axis Bank have in 2026 in total?

Add it up across all three categories and the number is higher than most people expect. Public and festival holidays account for roughly 15 to 25 days depending on the state. Sundays contribute another 52 or 53 days. Second and fourth Saturdays add 24 more. That brings total non-working days to somewhere between 90 and 100 for most branches. The exact count varies by city since state-specific holidays differ.

Which upcoming Axis Bank holidays should I plan around right now?

If you're reading this in April 2026, three holidays land in quick succession — Dr Ambedkar Jayanti and Baisakhi on the 14th, Bengali New Year and Vishu on the 15th, and Bohag Bihu on the 16th. That's a potential three-day closure cluster for branches in the Northeast, East, and South. Get any time-sensitive transfers or deposits done by April 13th to be safe.

Is Axis Bank closed on all Saturdays, or just specific ones?

Not all Saturdays — only the second and fourth Saturday of each month. The first, third, and (when applicable) fifth Saturdays are regular working days. This rule applies to every Axis Bank branch across India, regardless of state-specific holiday variations.

How do Holi, Diwali, and Eid dates change for bank holidays each year?

These festivals follow the lunar calendar rather than the fixed Gregorian one, so their dates shift from year to year. The RBI confirms bank holiday schedules based on expected dates at the start of each year, but for lunar holidays there's occasionally a one-day adjustment when the official moon sighting happens. The safest move: check the GST portal or your local branch notice board one week before any major lunar festival.

What happens to an EMI due date that falls on a bank holiday?

If your EMI due date lands on a public holiday or a second/fourth Saturday, most banks — including Axis — process the debit on the next working day without counting it as a late payment. That said, it's worth keeping your account funded a day or two before a known closure just to avoid any auto-debit timing issues. Call Axis Bank customer care to confirm the exact policy for your loan type if you're unsure.

Bookmark this Axis Bank holidays 2026 schedule before each month begins. Knowing which dates are off in your city takes less than a minute — and it's a lot easier than finding out at the branch door that you've made a wasted trip.
