Digital banking on Saturday

Bank customers can continue to carry out many routine transactions through digital channels such as ATMs, UPI, mobile banking and internet banking, even on days when bank branches are closed. Services like cash withdrawal within the permitted limits, fund transfers, bill payments and balance checks remain available through these platforms.


However, certain banking activities still require a visit to a physical branch. For instance, depositing cheques, withdrawing cash above the prescribed ATM or daily withdrawal limits, accessing bank lockers, or completing documentation-related services can typically be done only at a bank branch. Customers planning such transactions may need to schedule their visits accordingly.
