As India moves towards a more digital-first banking ecosystem, the reliance on physical branches is gradually decreasing. However, for many people and for certain types of transactions, branch banking remains essential. Keeping a close watch on the holiday calendar is a simple yet effective way to stay on top of your financial game. So, mark your calendars, plan your visits, and make the most of the uninterrupted digital services available to you.
