How these holidays affect you
On the listed holidays, branch services such as check clearance, passbook updates, or cash handling will not be available. Digital banking channels – mobile apps, net banking, and ATMs – will operate as normal. If an important date, such as a loan repayment, recurring deposit deduction, or investment maturity, falls on a holiday, the process is usually transferred to the next working day, as per RBI guidelines.

To avoid last-minute hassles, customers should plan important branch-related transactions a day or two before these holidays. For regular transactions, online banking and ATM facilities provide 24-hour options.
