Alert! Banks will have two working days between March 27 to April 4, check complete list here

New Delhi: Bank customers need to note that between March 27 and April 4 the banks will be closed for a long period of time and there are just two working days in between, so it would be a better idea to get all the pending work done by this week itself.

The banks will be closed till April 3 and if the window is missed than the wait to complete pending bank work will extend till April 4. Banks will be closed consecutively for three days from March 27-29. On March 27 the bank will be closed as it is a second Saturday while March 28 is a Sunday and March 29 is Holi festival. 

While bank branches in Patna will remain shut for four days as March 30 is also a holiday as per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holidays list. On March 31, though, it is not a holiday but customers will not be entertained as it's the last day of the financial year. As April 1 is yearly account closing time the banks will not be working. Then it is a holiday on April 2 for Good Friday so banks across the country will remain shut.
