Just think now
If you are planning any important work like loan approval, check clearance, passbook update, locker access, draft or KYC, then do not move towards the bank on these dates, the doors will be closed!
Will digital services continue?
Yes. Services like Net Banking, UPI, ATM and Mobile Banking will continue normally. But it is possible to delay a slight delay in NEFT, RTGS and check clearance. And all the works for which it is necessary to go to the physical branch, they will remain incomplete.
Then what should we do?
Start planning from now on.
Set up the works which are necessary branch visits before the holidays.
Otherwise, your important work may be buried under the burden of holidays ..
