Key Points to Remember:
15 Days of Closures: The holiday schedule includes both national observances, which apply across all states, and regional holidays, affecting only specific areas.
State-Specific Holidays: Regional holidays may differ from state to state, so a holiday in one state doesn’t necessarily affect banking operations in another. It’s important to verify whether a particular holiday applies to your state.
Online Services Unaffected: Even though physical bank branches will be closed, you can still carry out your banking activities through online platforms. Services such as mobile banking, net banking, and ATMs will remain fully operational, allowing you to manage your transactions without disruption.
For the full state-wise list of bank holidays, visit the official [RBI website](https://rbi.org.in/Scripts/HolidayMatrixDisplay.aspx) and plan your banking operations accordingly.
Whether it’s a routine transaction or an urgent banking task, don’t let the closures affect your plans. Use digital banking alternatives to keep your financial activities on track.
