If you’re planning a bank visit, you may want to check the calendar first. Starting March 30, banks across India will observe multiple holidays over the week (March 30–April 5), which could affect branch services.
According to the holiday schedule, both public and private sector banks will remain closed for up to six days next week due to festivals, annual closing, and the weekly Sunday off. Holidays include occasions like Mahavir Jayanti and Good Friday, along with regional observances.
March 30 (Monday): Banks closed in Karnataka for Mahavir Jayanti
March 31 (Tuesday): Banks shut in multiple states including Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Delhi, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand for Mahavir Jayanti
April 1 (Wednesday): Banks closed in several states due to annual account closing
April 2 (Thursday): Banks shut in Kerala (Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram) for Maundy Thursday
April 3 (Friday): Banks closed across most states for Good Friday
April 5 (Sunday): Weekly holiday
Typically, banks remain open on the first, third and fifth Saturdays of the month unless a special holiday is declared.
Even though branches will be shut on these days, customers can continue to use digital banking services. Facilities like UPI payments, fund transfers, net banking, mobile apps, ATM withdrawals, loan applications and cheque book requests will function as usual.
Customers are advised to plan their bank-related work in advance to avoid inconvenience during the holiday-heavy week.
