Saturday Bank Holiday Today: Are Banks Open or Closed on April 4, 2026?

After multiple bank holidays earlier this week, many customers are wondering whether bank branches are open today, Saturday, April 4, 2026. The good news is that banks are open today across most parts of India, as it is the first Saturday of the month, which is a regular working day under Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rules.

Banks in India remain closed only on the second and fourth Saturdays, along with all Sundays and state-specific public holidays. Since April 4 falls on the first Saturday, customers can visit their home branch or nearby branch for cash deposits, withdrawals, cheque clearances, DD requests, passbook updates, and other over-the-counter services.

This clarification comes after a week of consecutive closures in several states due to Mahavir Jayanti on March 31, yearly account closing on April 1, and Good Friday on April 3, which left many people confused about branch availability today. With banks resuming normal Saturday operations, pending in-person banking work can now be completed without delay.

Customers should still note that bank timings on Saturdays may be shorter than weekday hours in some branches, especially in semi-urban and rural areas. It is always advisable to check with your local branch before visiting. Meanwhile, ATM, UPI, mobile banking, internet banking, and cash deposit machines continue to function 24x7, regardless of branch holidays.

What Are the Next Bank Holidays in April 2026?

According to the RBI holiday calendar, banks will again remain closed later this month for regional festivals, the second Saturday (April 11), Ambedkar Jayanti and regional New Year holidays (April 14–16 in many states), and the fourth Saturday (April 25). Holiday dates may vary depending on your state and city.
