RBI normally releases a state/union-wise list of bank holidays. The holidays are announced to ensure that people can plan their banking and related services accordingly. However, bank customers can carry out several transactions online during the days when banks remain closed.

All online banking activities and mobile transactions function uninterrupted during such times.
