Are banks open today? Check March holiday list
Banks are open this Saturday (March 7), but will be closed on Sunday (March 8) as usual.
The Reserve Bank of India has released the March 2026 holiday list, so if you need to visit your branch, check the dates before heading out.
Important bank holidays in March
There are 18 bank holidays in March, including second and fourth Saturdays and all Sundays.
Big ones to note: Holi on March 3; Chapchar Kut (Mizoram) on March 13; Eid-Ul-Fitr on March 20 in some areas and on March 21 in others;

Things to remember
Holiday dates change from state to state, so double-check with your local branch or online.
Even when banks are closed, ATMs, UPI payments, and online banking will still work—so you're not totally stuck.
