Digital Banking Services
Even when bank branches are closed on holidays, most online banking options will still work as usual. People can use UPI, mobile banking apps, internet banking, ATMs, and debit or credit cards without any problem. Money transfers and digital payments will continue. Only services that need a visit to the bank, like cheque clearing, signing papers, or getting approvals at the counter, may take more time and get delayed.
