August 13 Bank Holiday: Planning a bank visit on Wednesday, 13 August 2025? You might want to double-check the holiday schedule. In Manipur, all banks will remain closed for Patriots' Day, a solemn occasion honouring freedom fighters Yubraj Tikendrajit Singh and General Thangal, who laid down their lives during India's struggle against British rule. Elsewhere in the country, banks will function as usual.

While physical branches will shut in Manipur, digital banking-including net banking, mobile apps, UPI transactions, and ATMs-will keep running round the clock. However, tasks like cheque clearance, demand drafts, and certain over-the-counter services will have to wait until the next working day. If you've got urgent banking to do, it's wise to plan ahead.
