On April 18, banks across India are fully operational as it falls on the third Saturday of the month, which is a designated working day under Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rules. Major banks such as State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank will be open for customers. The RBI mandates that banks close on the second and fourth Saturdays, along with Sundays, while digital banking services remain available during these closures. Customers can continue to use mobile and internet banking, ATMs, and UPI payment platforms even when physical branches are closed. Looking ahead, bank branches in Karnataka will close on April 20 for Basava Jayanti, and Tripura will observe a closure on April 21 for Garia Puja. The fourth Saturday of April, April 25, will also see a nationwide bank holiday, followed by the regular Sunday closure on April 26. Understanding the RBI's holiday framework is essential for customers, as it outlines working days and bank closures based on regional festivals and national holidays.
