A government holiday calendar lists the states where bank branches will remain shut for the next six days.
The Times Bull reports that a fresh holiday calendar issued by the Ministry of Finance indicates that bank branches across several Indian states will be closed for the next six days, beginning today. The announcement is part of the nationwide schedule of public holidays that affect banking operations.
While the exact list of states is not reproduced here, the full roster is available on the Times Bull portal, allowing customers to verify whether their local branch is affected. The closure applies to all physical branches, though digital banking services, mobile apps, and ATMs are expected to remain operational where feasible.
Banking institutions have urged customers to plan cash withdrawals, fund transfers, and other time‑sensitive transactions ahead of the shutdown. They also recommend using online platforms or contacting customer care for assistance during the holiday period.
The temporary suspension of branch services is routine during extended public holidays and is intended to give bank staff a uniform break while maintaining essential financial infrastructure through electronic channels.
