Can I Use Online / Net Banking During Holidays? Will ATMs Be Open?

Yes, despite it being any holiday, you can continue to use your online banking, mobile banking, net banking platform, bank apps, and local ATMs, as usual, unless maintenance timings or technical issues are specifically notified by your bank.

However, the Negotiable Instruments Act deals with the issuance of cheques and promissory notes and transactions involving these instruments will not be available during the holidays.

It is thus advisable to check the confirmed holiday schedule from your own local bank branch and make arrangements to deal with any extended closures or emergencies on particular dates.
