According to calendar, banks will be closed for three consecutive days from March 27-29, on account of the fourth Saturday and Holi with March 28 being Sunday. While the bank will open for service on March 30, it will once again be closed from March 31 to April 2. It will again remain closed on April 4.

The Reserve Bank of India on their website has put up information regarding the same. According to the website, banks will remain closed on March 31 as it is the last day of the financial year, and on April 1 banks will be closed on account of closing of accounts.

Banking services will be closed on April 2 because of Good Friday and again on April 4, which is a Sunday, banks will be shut. It is to be noted that people who wish to visit banks next week will get just two days as services will be operational on March 30 and April 3.

However, customers will be able to use ATM services, access mobile banking services, and other online services during this period.
