Relief option for customers
The relief for customers is that digital banking services will not be affected during these holidays. Facilities like net banking, mobile banking, and UPI will continue to work normally. This means that transferring money, paying bills, or checking the balance will be possible without visiting the branch. However, for cash transactions, cheque deposits, or other offline tasks, customers will have to plan.
