What transactions can you do when banks are closed?

During bank holidays, a person can continue to use online or mobile banking services, which works even during national holidays — unless notified to users for technical or other reasons. For cash emergencies, ATMs are open for withdrawals. App and UPI also function as usual.

All of the bank’s annual holiday calendar is declared by the RBI under provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act, which deals with the issuance of cheques and promissory notes. Transactions involving these instruments are thus not available during these listed holidays.

The RBI and state governments create a list of holidays for banks, and then the central bank makes the announcement through its official website and notifications to banks and other financial institutions.
