Bank Holiday Today: Banks To Remain Shut In These States For Regional Festivals On April 15
Even during bank holidays, customers can continue to access online banking services, UPI payments, ATMs and mobile banking.
Banking services will be unavailable in a few Indian states on Tuesday, April 15, as per the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) holiday calendar. The closures will be observed due to regional festivals including Bengali New Year’s Day (Poila Baisakh), Himachal Day and Bohag Bihu.
