Tips for Planning Your Bank Visits
To avoid frustration, keep these tips in mind:
- Check the Calendar: Always look up the holiday list before you plan a bank visit.
- Plan Ahead: If you have important work like a loan, passbook update, or cheque clearance, visit the bank before a holiday.
- Use Digital Tools: For most routine transactions, use your bank’s app or website. It’s fast and available 24/7.
- Know Your State’s Holidays: If you live in a state with special holidays (like Tripura, Meghalaya, or Sikkim), double-check the dates so you don’t get caught off guard.
Planning is the key to smooth banking. July 2025 has a mix of regular weekend holidays and special state holidays. While you can do a lot online, some tasks still need a branch visit. Make sure you know the holiday dates for your state, and use digital banking for most of your needs.
