If you are planning to visit a bank next week, it is important to check the holiday calendar in advance. Banks across India are set to remain closed for multiple days between March 30 and April 5 due to a mix of festivals, annual account closing, and the weekly Sunday holiday.
As per the holiday schedule, both public and private sector banks could remain shut for up to six days in different parts of the country. The closures are mainly due to occasions such as Mahavir Jayanti, Good Friday, and region-specific observances.
