Bank Holiday: In several states, banks remained closed for multiple days this week due to holidays on March 31, 2026 (Mahavir Jayanti), April 1, 2026 (Annual Closing of Accounts), and April 3 (Good Friday). Consequently, for the majority of bank customers who have planned to visit a bank branch today—Saturday, April 4, 2026—it is essential to know whether banks are open or closed.
If you, too, are planning to visit a bank branch today, first verify whether the banks are operational or not. Let's find out if there is a bank holiday today, April 4—the first Saturday of the month.
Are Banks Closed or Open Today, April 4—The First Saturday of the Month?
All private and public sector banks across the country are open today, April 4, 2026. Today marks the first Saturday of the month, which is a working day for banks. This means that all branches of various banks—ranging from SBI, HDFC Bank, PNB, and Axis Bank to ICICI Bank—located in your city will be open today.
According to guidelines established by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), all scheduled and non-scheduled banks are mandatorily closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, as well as on every Sunday. This implies that on these specific days, customers will be unable to avail themselves of services requiring a visit to a bank branch. Furthermore, banks typically remain closed in different parts of the country to observe national, religious, and regional festivals. Additionally, banking operations remain suspended across all of India on gazetted public holidays.
When Will Banks Be Closed in April?
The next bank holiday in April will fall on the 11th—the second Saturday of the month. The following day, April 12, is a Sunday. Additionally, banks in several states will remain closed on April 14 on account of Ambedkar Jayanti.
