All banks will remain closed on April 1 for customers to enable banks to close their annual accounts. Banks will remain closed in all states except Mizoram, Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh, and Meghalaya. Besides this, banks will also be closed on occasions such as Mahavir Jayanti, Good Friday, Ambedkar Jayanti, Id-Ul-Fitr, and Baisakhi in April this year.

It, however, is always a good idea to check the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) holiday calendar before planning any bank-related work. The RBI classifies bank holidays into three categories– Banks’ Closing of Accounts, Holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act, and Holidays under Negotiable Instruments and Real-Time Gross Settlement Holidays.
