Indian banks to stay closed for four days from today, holiday schedule released

All bank branches in India will remain shut for a continuous four‑day period starting today, as announced by the Ministry of Finance. The closure applies to scheduled commercial banks, regional rural banks and cooperative banks nationwide.
The suspension coincides with a series of public holidays that vary across states. A detailed state‑wise calendar has been published on official portals, allowing customers to verify the exact dates applicable in their region.
Customers are advised to complete cash withdrawals, fund transfers and other in‑person transactions before the shutdown. While physical counters will be closed, ATMs, internet banking and mobile banking services are expected to function normally.
Banking officials have urged the public to plan ahead and avoid inconvenience, especially for businesses that rely on daily cash flows. The holiday schedule aligns with traditional festive periods observed across the country.
The four‑day break is part of the annual holiday calendar and follows a similar pattern observed in previous years during major festivals.
