Akshaya Tritiya 2025 Bank Holiday Status

On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, banks across India will operate normally, except in Karnataka, where they will be closed in observance of Basava Jayanti and Akshaya Tritiya. This day marks an auspicious Hindu festival celebrated for new beginnings and gold purchases.

Understanding the Holiday in Karnataka

Karnataka has declared April 30, 2025, a bank holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act. This decision honors Basava Jayanti, commemorating the birth anniversary of Basavanna, the 12th-century poet-philosopher, and Akshaya Tritiya, a day symbolizing eternal prosperity.

Akshaya Tritiya: A Day of Prosperity

Akshaya Tritiya, falling on the third day of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha, is a day filled with significance in Hindu mythology, representing never-diminishing fortune and success.

State-Wise Banking Schedule

While most states will see normal banking operations, Karnataka's banks will suspend in-branch services. This includes all public and private sector banking institutions.
