Online banking - news of relief
Now let's talk about the good news. Even though bank branches are closed, digital services will remain fully operational. Meaning you can transfer money, pay bills or check balance through means like net banking, mobile banking, ATM, UPI.
So if the work can be done online, then there is no need to worry about holidays.
If you have to go to a bank branch, plan in advance
Looking at the list of July holidays, it is certain that if there is any work that can be done only by going to the bank branch – such as depositing a cheque, submitting loan documents, submitting a hard copy of a form or a large cash transaction – then get it done without delay.
If you go at the last minute and find the bank closed, your work will remain incomplete and you may also face trouble.
