SBI, HDFC, ICICI Bank Customers Alert: Branches to Remain Shut on These 4 Dates

According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar, bank branches will be closed on August 25, August 26, August 28 and August 30 in the locations covered by the respective holidays. The closures will not apply uniformly across India because several of the holidays are state- or city-specific.

Customers of SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and other lenders should therefore confirm the holiday applicable to their branch before planning an in-person visit.

Can You Use UPI, Internet Banking and ATMs During Bank Holidays

Digital banking services generally continue to operate even when physical branches are closed. Customers can use UPI, mobile banking, internet banking and ATM services for routine transactions, subject to the availability and limits set by their respective banks.

However, services that specifically require a branch visit, such as certain document submissions, cash-related services or in-person verification, will have to wait until the concerned branch reopens.
