Customers planning to visit banks for in-person services should take note, as a series of bank holidays is scheduled between April 26 and May 12, 2025. Over this 17-day period, banks in various parts of the country will remain closed on nine days due to weekends and regional festivals, potentially affecting regular banking operations such as cheque clearance and passbook updates.
