Today, on April 18, 2025, several banks across the country remained shut due to the observance of Good Friday. However, there’s good news for customers waiting to visit their banks — banks will operate as usual on Saturday, April 19. Unlike second and fourth Saturdays, this Saturday is a full working day for banks, and all banking services will be available across most regions.

But before stepping out, it's still a good idea to check with your local branch, especially if you're in a state that observes regional holidays.

What Banking Services Will Be Available on April 19?

As banks remain open on April 19, customers can easily carry out essential transactions such as:

• Cash deposits and withdrawals

• Cheque deposits and clearances

• Passbook updates

• Demand draft issuance

• Account-related queries

In addition to in-branch services, all digital banking facilities including ATM, UPI, net banking, and mobile banking will continue to function 24/7.

This comes as a big relief for those who couldn’t complete urgent banking work today due to the Good Friday holiday.
