Bank Holidays in April 2025
Starting from April 1, 2025, the new financial year has begun. Every year, on April 1st, banks across the country remain closed. According to RBI regulations, banks are closed on this day due to the increased workload of closing accounts at the end of the financial year. However, net banking and digital transactions continue to operate. Along with the new financial year, RBI has also released a new bank holiday calendar.
In Gujarat, banks will remain closed for a total of 10 days in April. Nationwide, including weekends and festival holidays, banks will remain closed for 16 days. Therefore, it is essential to check the holiday list before completing any urgent banking tasks.
