Bank holiday 2025: Even though the Reserve Bank of India has canceled the holiday on Eid i.e. March 31 due to bank closing, but still you should plan the work related to the bank in March. There is a reason for this. Banks are going to be closed for 13 days in the month of March. There is no dearth of festivals in the month of March. A big festival like Holi is also coming this month. There are many occasions like Bihar Day, Shab-e-Kadra, Jamaat ul Vida, when banks will remain closed in different states of the country. Apart from this, banks will remain closed on the second and fourth Saturdays. This time 5 Sundays are also falling. In such a situation, if you have to settle any work related to the bank before the date of bank closing, then make a plan from now.
