If you have any important bank work coming up, this is something you should know.
Banks in many parts of India may remain closed for up to 4 days between April 13 and April 19, 2026.
The closures are due to several major festivals celebrated across different states.
So, to avoid last-minute trouble, it’s best to plan your banking tasks in advance.
Why Are Banks Closed? Key Dates to Note
As per the Reserve Bank of India holiday calendar, multiple festivals will impact bank operations next week.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
April 14 (Tuesday):
Holidays for Ambedkar Jayanti, Baisakhi, Tamil New Year, and Bohag Bihu
Banks closed in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, and more
April 15 (Wednesday):
Celebrations like Pohela Boishakh and Vishu
Banks closed in several eastern, northeastern, and southern states
April 16 (Thursday):
Holiday for Bohag Bihu in select regions like Assam
April 19 (Sunday):
Weekly holiday — banks closed across India
Good News: Banks Open on April 18
There is some relief.
Banks will be open on Saturday, April 18, because it is the third Saturday of the month.
In India, banks are closed only on the second and fourth Saturdays.
This gives you a chance to complete urgent work before or after the holidays.
What You Can and Cannot Do During Holidays
Even when bank branches are closed, you can still access most services.
Available services:
UPI transfers

Important Tip Before You Visit
Bank holidays are not the same in every state.
They depend on local festivals and regional observances.
So, before visiting your branch, it’s always a good idea to confirm whether it’s open or closed.
Final Take
With multiple holidays lined up, bank services may be limited next week.
Planning ahead can save you time and hassle.
If your work is urgent, try to finish it early or use digital banking options to stay on track.
