What to do so that there is no obstacle in banking work?

Use online banking as much as possible. ATM and UPI services are mostly operational in holidays, but can have heavy traffic or technical problems. Plan any transaction or DD, check clearance before or after these dates. If the branch visit is necessary, then go keeping in mind the holiday dates.
