Online services will remain operational
Although bank branches will remain closed, customers need not panic. Services like Mobile Banking, Net Banking, UPI and ATM will continue to operate normally.
Through these services, you can easily transfer money, pay bills, check balance, apply for online loan and many other important tasks. Due to digital services, many tasks can now be done sitting at home despite banks being closed.
Important advice for customers
If you have to do check clearance, cash deposit or withdrawal, demand draft or any other branch related work, it would be better to settle these in advance. Because your work may get delayed due to bank closure during holidays.
Apart from this, there may sometimes be shortage of cash in ATMs during holidays, so it would be wise to withdraw cash in advance as per requirement.
