The month of March brings several major festivals, including Holi and Eid, leading to multiple bank holidays across different states. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) releases a holiday calendar every year, outlining the days when banks will remain closed. If you have any important banking tasks, it’s essential to check the schedule and plan accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.
With March just around the corner, it is important to note that banks will be closed on several days due to various festivals and regional holidays. To prevent any disruptions to your banking activities, take note of the holiday schedule and complete all necessary transactions on working days.
Apart from festival-related closures, banks will also observe regular weekend holidays:
It is important to note that bank holidays are not uniform across all states. The RBI publishes a state-wise holiday list on its official website, detailing festival holidays applicable in different regions. However, customers can still carry out essential banking activities using online banking services, which remain operational even on holidays. Most banking transactions, such as fund transfers, bill payments, and account management, can be completed online.
For any in-person banking needs, make sure to visit your branch before the holidays to avoid last-minute issues.
