Except for gazetted holidays, banks are not the same across all the states in India. If Banks in Maharashtra are closed on one particular day it does not mean banks are also closed in other parts of the country.

All the banks including Axis Bank, Federal Bank, SBI, Bandhan Bank, and HDFC, will remain closed on the bank holidays in Maharashtra.

Mumbai, known as the financial center of India, is the capital of Maharashtra. It is India's second-most populous state and third-largest state by area. Bank holidays in Maharashtra include Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, Gudi Padwa, and Maharashtra Day.

If you have never thought of vacationing in Maharashtra then you can visit the state on a bank holiday in Maharashtra. Some of the famous places in Maharashtra are Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Mahabaleshwar, Lonavala, Khandala, Matheran, Ajanta and Ellora caves, and Panchgani.

Bank Holidays in Maharashtra during March

Apart from regular holidays, two regional bank holidays that will be observed in Maharashtra in March 2024 include:

March 8 - Sivarathri
March 25- Holi
March 29 - Good Friday

The second week and the fourth week of Saturdays are declared as Bank Holidays. It is a Central government holiday. All the nationalized banks, and public and private sector banks in Maharashtra remain closed on those two days across the country.

Thus, if banks in other states are open on a certain date in the month of March, it is not necessary that banks in Maharashtra will also remain open on that day.

During these bank holidays in Maharashtra, the banks are closed. As per an understanding between the Indian Banks' Association and All India Bank Employees Association, all public sector banks in Maharashtra and other states of India are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month.

In Maharashtra, bank holidays do not mean people will not have access to net banking facilities. Even when banks are closed people can conduct financial transactions via online mode.

All the banks including the Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Corporation Bank and Indian Overseas Bank will remain closed on the second week and fourth week of Saturday.

Holi: The government of Maharashtra has declared a holiday on the occasion of Holi. On this day all the banks will remain closed. A day after Holika Dahan, Holi is celebrated across the country with pomp and splendour. Holi is a Hindu spring festival; it is also known as the festival of colours. It is also observed as a thanksgiving for a good harvest. People smear each other with colours and drench each other in the water.

Good Friday: The government has declared a holiday, on account of Good Friday. It falls on the last week of Friday in March. It is the day on which Jesus, the central figure of Christianity was crucified. The day marks worship services, prayers, vigil services, fasting, and almsgiving. Christians across the world observe this day like Black Friday or Easter Friday or Holy Friday.
