Even on these holiday days when bank branches are closed, online banking services remain fully available. Through net banking, people can easily handle many activities such as account reconciliation, bill payments, and fund transfers. For those needing cash, ATMs typically stay operational. However, for special tasks like issuing cheques or conducting high-value RTGS transactions, one must visit a bank branch, so it's advisable to plan ahead.
