On Saturday, April 18, banks across India will be open for business, as they are only closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month according to the guidelines from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This means that customers can access regular banking services, including branch operations, as well as online services such as internet banking, mobile banking apps, ATMs, and UPI services, which remain operational even on days when branches are closed. The availability of digital platforms has reduced the need for physical visits to banks, particularly during weekends and holidays. Additionally, banking unions have long been advocating for a shift to a five-day work week, similar to other sectors, to improve work-life balance and address increasing workloads. However, discussions on this topic have yet to result in a final decision, and banks continue to operate on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays.
