Gudhi Padwa, Eid al-Fitr and Weekend Holidays: When Banks Will Be Closed Next Week

Banks across India will observe several public and regional holidays between March 16 and March 22, 2026, according to the holiday calendar issued by the Reserve Bank of India.

Since bank holidays in India vary from state to state, branches may remain closed in some cities while operating normally in others.

Even when bank branches are closed, customers can continue using digital banking services such as net banking, mobile banking, UPI transactions, and ATMs. However, services like cheque clearing and other over-the-counter transactions under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 will not be available.
