The second and fourth Saturdays of every month are declared as bank holidays in Bihar. They are also closed on Sundays and all regional, state, and national holidays. The 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays of every month are operational, but some banks may close on these days depending on the local festivals.

Certain public holidays are common in all the states and union territories of India, but some holidays are state-specific to Bihar, such as Bihar Divas and Chhat Puja.
