Forthcoming Bank Holidays in April 2025
Though the month is almost over, there are two more holidays listed, but they are local ones and won't impact banks all over India.

• April 29 (Tuesday): Bhagwan Shri Parshuram Jayanti will be celebrated in Himachal Pradesh on the birthday of Lord Parshuram, the sixth incarnation of Vishnu.
• April 30 (Wednesday): Basava Jayanti and Akshaya Tritiya will be celebrated and banks will remain closed in Karnataka and some other states.

Banking Services On Holidays
Even though physical branches of banks will remain shut during holidays, customers can still use several digital services, such as

• Digital Banking: Online banking facilities will remain operational.
• UPI Services: UPI payments can be conducted without any breaks.
• ATM Services: ATMs will work normally unless informed otherwise by the bank for maintenance.

Yet, transactions on cheques and promissory notes will not be conducted during bank holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act.

Customers can schedule their banking operations accordingly, availing digital services on holidays and going to branches on working days.
