Ambedkar Jayanti, observed on April 14, 2026, is a national holiday in India that commemorates the birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. On this day, most government offices, public and private sector banks, post offices, courts, and schools will be closed across the country. However, digital banking services will remain operational, allowing for online transactions. Celebrations are expected to be particularly vibrant in states such as Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh, where large public gatherings and processions will honor Ambedkar's contributions. While many physical bank branches may be closed, private businesses and essential services are likely to function normally.
