Important Advice for Customers
With so many holidays, services like cash deposits, cheque clearance, and in-branch banking may be delayed. To avoid inconvenience:
Finish important banking tasks in the first week of August.
Use digital services like mobile banking, internet banking, and ATMs — these will continue to work as usual.
Keep in mind that holidays may vary by state and can change based on government notifications. Always check your bank’s official website or contact your local branch before visiting.
