Mumbai: Banks across India will remain closed on multiple days in April 2026 due to festivals, regional events and regular weekend holidays. Customers are advised to plan their banking work in advance to avoid inconvenience.
Month Begins with Closure
The first bank holiday falls on April 1, observed as the annual closing of accounts. On this day, banks carry out financial year-end work, so branches remain closed in most parts of the country.

April 3: Good Friday (most cities)
April 14: Ambedkar Jayanti, Baisakhi, Tamil New Year and other festivals (most regions)

April 16: Bohag Bihu (Guwahati)
April 20: Basava Jayanti, Akshaya Tritiya (Bengaluru)

Weekend Closures Add to Holidays
In addition to festival holidays, banks will also remain closed on regular weekends.
Sundays: April 5, 12, 19, 26
Second Saturday: April 11
Fourth Saturday: April 25
These weekly offs increase the total number of non-working days for bank branches.
Digital Banking Still Available
Even though bank branches will remain closed on these days, online banking services will continue to work. Customers can use mobile banking apps, internet banking and UPI for transactions without any interruption.
Plan Your Banking Work
With several holidays lined up, customers should complete important tasks like cheque deposits, cash withdrawals or branch visits in advance. This will help avoid delays during the holiday period.
