Which Banking Services Remain Unavailable During Holidays?

Bank holidays affect services that require customers to visit a branch. These include over-the-counter cash deposits and withdrawals, demand draft requests, cheque-related assistance and access to bank lockers. Customers requiring these services may have to wait until branches reopen on the next working day.

While internet banking, mobile banking, UPI, ATMs and online bill payment facilities remain available during branch closures, customers can also transfer money through NEFT and RTGS at any time, as these services are available 24 hours a day, including on Sundays and bank holidays.
