In April, customers will not be able to visit bank branches for half of the month. This is because in the coming month, there will bank holidays for as many as fifteen days, according to a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday list. Banks will not function on account of festivals, second and fourth Saturdays, and Sundays.

RBI categorises holidays as ‘national’ and ‘regional.’ Under the former category, banks across the country are closed, while under the latter, branches only in that particular region are non-operational. Also, even on non-working days, online financial services remain functional as usual.
