Banks across India observe holidays today for Holi and regional festivals. The Reserve Bank of India has declared March 3rd as a bank holiday in 18 cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Hyderabad for celebrations of Holi, Holika Dahan, Dhulandi, Dol Jatra, and Attukal Pongala. While physical branches remain closed, customers can access banking services through digital channels. ATMs continue operating for cash withdrawals, and mobile banking, UPI, and app-based transactions function normally unless technical issues arise. The RBI calendar shows March 2026 contains 18 total public holidays for banks nationwide, including weekend closures. Regional variations exist, so customers are advised to confirm with their local branch before visiting. Planning ahead for banking needs during festival seasons helps avoid disruptions during long holiday weekends.
