Bank Holidays in India: State-Wise Closure Schedule for March 30 to April 4 Banks across India will observe closures during the week of March 30 to April 4 due to regional festivals and administrative holidays. The schedule varies by state, with specific dates and locations outlined below. Customers are advised to plan transactions in advance, as in-branch services will be unavailable on closure days. Digital banking platforms will remain operational for routine transactions. On March 31, banking branches in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, New Delhi, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh will remain closed to commemorate Mahavir Janmakalyanak/Mahavir Jayanti. This date marks the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavira, a key figure in Jainism, and is widely celebrated in these states. April 1 will see nationwide closures except in Mizoram, Sikkim, Nagaland, Jharkhand, Meghalaya, and Himachal Pradesh. The decision is tied to the completion of annual financial accounts by banks, a process that requires uninterrupted operations. Customers in these regions should note that branches will be unavailable for in-person services on this date. Kerala will observe a closure on April 2 for Maundy Thursday, a Christian holiday commemorating Jesus Christ’s washing of disciples’ feet. This date is significant in the Christian calendar and is observed by religious communities in the state. April 3 will bring nationwide branch closures, except in Tripura, Chandigarh, Assam, Rajasthan, and Jammu and Kashmir. The closure is linked to Good Friday, a Christian holiday marking the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Banks in these exempted regions will remain open for transactions, but customers are encouraged to complete urgent matters before the holiday.#mahavir_jayanti #good_friday #mahavir_janmakalyanak #maundy_thursday #christian_holiday
