Why are banks closed?
Bank holidays in India aren't limited to Saturdays and Sundays. National holidays, such as Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti, are observed by all banks. Banking services are also affected by religious and cultural festivals such as Diwali, Durga Puja, Eid, Christmas, Onam, and Pongal. In many states, banks are closed on various dates due to local festivals, foundation days, and birth anniversaries of regional figures.
How to handle important work when banks are closed?
In today's digital age, many services continue uninterrupted despite bank branch closures. Customers can complete most of their transactions online 24x7, such as:
Money transfers via UPI, NEFT, and RTGS
- Opening or managing fixed deposits
- Checking account balances and mini-statements
- Paying electricity, mobile, credit card bills, and EMIs
- Downloading passbooks and account statements online
- So, important financial tasks can be easily completed even during bank holidays.
