Bank Holiday In August 2025: Are Banks closed today?
Bank Holiday Today: Banks are set to remain close today, August 13, in Manipur due to Patriot’s Day. According to RBI’s instrumental holiday list, the date is earmarked as a public holiday in Manipur state, meaning banks won’t be opened there.
During bank holidays, customers can continue to access services through net banking, mobile banking, UPI, and ATMs. While these digital platforms remain operational for transactions, cheque clearing and other physical banking activities governed by the Negotiable Instruments Act will not be processed on these days.
What Is Manipur’s Patriot Day?
Manipur Patriot Day is observed every year on August 13 to honor the courage and sacrifice of Manipuri freedom fighters who resisted British colonial rule. The day particularly commemorates Bir Tikendrajit Singh, the crown prince of Manipur, and General Thangal, who were executed by the British on August 13, 1891, after the Anglo-Manipur War. The conflict arose when the British interfered in the internal affairs of Manipur, leading to armed resistance. On this day, people in Manipur hold memorial events, cultural programs, and public gatherings to pay tribute to these martyrs, celebrating their role in protecting the sovereignty and dignity of the state.
