If you are planning a bank visit today, July 6, it is a good idea to check whether your local branch is open before stepping out. Banks are not closed across India today, but a holiday has been announced in select states under the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) holiday calendar. While banking services like UPI, internet banking, mobile banking and ATMs will continue to work as usual, physical branches in some regions will remain shut.
On July 6, banks are closed in Aizawl, Mizoram, for Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP) Day, while banks in Kolkata, West Bengal, are closed to mark the birth anniversary of Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee.
Why Is MHIP Day Celebrated?
Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP) is one of the largest women's organisations in Mizoram. The day celebrates the organisation's contribution towards women's welfare, education, social reform and community development in the state. It is observed as an important regional holiday, and banks remain closed across Mizoram.
Why Is Syama Prasad Mookerjee's Birth Anniversary Observed?
Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee was an educationist, lawyer and politician who served as India's first Minister for Industry and Supply after Independence. He also founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the party that later evolved into the BJP. His birth anniversary is observed in West Bengal, and banks in Kolkata remain closed on the occasion.
