Important information related to banks has come to light. A new week is starting today, March 30, and the list of bank holidays this week is quite long. If you are planning to complete any important bank-related work this week, make sure to check the bank holiday list first. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar, banks will remain closed for a total of six days between March 30 and April 5 in different states across the country due to Mahavir Jayanti, Good Friday, and the annual closing. In such a situation, it is important to know on which days and where banks will remain open or closed before visiting a branch.
To avoid finding the bank locked after reaching there, check whether banks are open or closed today, March 30, and be aware of the upcoming holidays this week before stepping out.
On the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, banks will remain closed for two days—March 30 and March 31—in different states.
When and where will banks remain closed from March 30 to April 5?
According to the RBI calendar, the complete list of holidays this week is as follows:
March 30 (Monday): Banks will remain closed in Karnataka on account of Mahavir Jayanti. If you live in places like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, or Maharashtra, it is advisable to complete your bank work today, as upcoming holidays may cause delays.

Will banks remain closed for all six days in every state?
No, the RBI holiday calendar is state-specific. This means banks will not remain closed for all six days in every state. Holidays will vary from state to state.
Will banks be open or closed on Saturday?
April 4 is the first Saturday of the month, so banks will remain open. Generally, banks are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays, while they remain open on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays.
How will work continue when banks are closed? Will online services remain available?
There is no need to worry if bank branches are closed. In the era of Digital India, banking services will continue uninterrupted.
UPI transactions, net banking, and mobile banking services are available 24/7 throughout the year.
You can transfer money, request a cheque book, or apply for loans from home.
ATM services for cash withdrawal will also remain operational.
However, tasks that require visiting a bank branch in person (physical banking) cannot be completed on holidays.
