What to do if you have important work to do on a bank holiday?
Banks across the country are closed for festivals or special occasions. However, these holidays are not consistent across the country; banks remain closed in some cities while others remain open. Therefore, if you need to deposit a check or visit a branch to complete an important task, these tasks will not be possible on the holiday.
Online Banking Will Remain Open
There’s no need to panic on a bank holiday. A bank holiday doesn’t mean all your banking needs will be halted. Nowadays, you can perform most tasks from home using mobile or internet banking. Online services like IMPS, NEFT, and RTGS remain operational. Payments, transfers, and bill payments via UPI continue uninterrupted. It is also possible to withdraw money, check balance or get a mini statement from the ATM.
Good news! The metro is coming to this city, with 10 metro stations built in 25 km, making these areas a great place to live.
