Bank customers should plan their financial activities carefully, as banks across India will remain closed for up to 14 days in April 2026, according to the schedule issued by the Reserve Bank of India.
These holidays include weekends, festivals, and financial year-end activities. If weekends are excluded, banks will remain shut for around 8 working days, which could impact branch-related services.
April 1: Banks Closed Across India
The month begins with a nationwide bank closure on April 1, 2026, due to annual account closing.
- Banks will not offer public dealing
- Branches may remain open internally for staff
- No cash deposit, withdrawal, or cheque services available
This is a crucial day when banks finalize financial records for the previous fiscal year.

States like Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala will see bank closures during this period.
Additional Closures on April 20–21
In some states like Karnataka and Tripura, banks may remain closed or operate with limited services on April 20 and 21 due to local festivals.
Digital Banking Will Continue
Despite branch closures, customers can still access services through:
- UPI payments
- Mobile banking apps
- Internet banking
- ATM withdrawals
However, services like:

will not be available on holidays.
Why You Should Plan Ahead

This is especially important for businesses and individuals dealing with urgent financial tasks.
