Bank customers might want to plan carefully this week, with multiple branches being closed across several states and Eid-related holidays falling in the middle of the schedule. On March 21, banks will remain closed in a large number of states and cities for Ramzan-Id (Id-Ul-Fitr), Khutub-E-Ramzan, and Sarhul.
Since this closure comes right after other state-specific holidays on March 19 and March 20, many customers could effectively face a long disruption in branch-based services, depending on their location.
