you are able to do online work
Despite the bank being closed, you are able to do many types of work digitally. There is no effect of bank holiday on digital services like UPI, Mobile Banking, Internet Banking. If you have any work that can be done digitally, you are able to do it even during the holidays.
Although almost everyone knows about online banks, but there is still a section that does its work only after going to the bank. You will be seen in the queue of banks to withdraw this money. In such a situation, it is very important to be aware of the bank holidays. It should not happen that they go to the bank and find the lock hanging there. After that they go back disappointed.
