Apart from regular bank holidays i..e Sundays and second and fourth Saturdays, banks in Manipur will also remain closed for three more days on March 7 and March 8 and March 29 on account of Yaosang, Yaosang 2nd day and Good Friday.

March 25 | Monday | Yaosang |
March 26 | Tuesday | Yaosang 2nd Day |

If Banks in Manipur 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, HDFC, will remain closed on the bank holidays in Manipur.
Apart from regular holidays, three regional bank holidays that will be observed in Manipur in March 2024 include:
March 7 - Yaosang
March 8 - Yaosang 2nd day
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 Manipur 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 Manipur will also remain open on that day. During these bank holidays in Manipur, the banks are closed. As per an understanding between the Indian Banks' Association and All India Bank Employees Association, all public sector banks in Manipur and other states of India are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month.
In Manipur, 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.
