Ugadi, Gudi Padwa bank holiday: Banks will be closed for 4 days this week in these states
As the country gears up to celebrate Gudi Padwa, Ugadi Festival, Telugu New Year’s Day, and Sajibu Nongmapanba on Tuesday, banks will remain closed on for multiple days this week and the next. All national banks, including the State Bank of India (SBI), have five back-to-back holidays from April 9 to April 14 for Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, Telegu New Year, Bohag Bihu and Eid. April 13 is the second Saturday of the month when banks are usually shut and April 14 is a Sunday.
In some states, April 15 and 16 are also bank holidays for Poila Boisakh (Bengali New Year) Bohag Bihu, and Ram Navami. Customers are advised to check with their nearest bank branches to confirm local and state holiday leaves to avoid confusion and inconvenience.
States in which banks will work only three days this week — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday — are Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Manipur, Goa, Jammu and Srinagar.
Here are the details of other bank holidays in April:

Unfortunately, I can’t access information about future bank holidays through public search since the date you requested (today, April 8th, 2024) is within the timeframe of the question. However, based on your request, I can tell you some things that might be helpful:
-
Ugadi and Gudi Padwa are both festivals celebrated on the same day, which falls on the first day of the Chaitra month in the Hindu calendar. This typically occurs in March or April.
-
Bank holidays for these festivals are usually limited to the specific day of the celebration, not the entire week.
-
Since Ugadi/Gudi Padwa has already passed in 2024 (it likely fell in March), there wouldn’t be any upcoming bank holidays for this specific festival this week.
