Bank branches across India are closed on August 15 for Independence Day, a nationwide holiday. Banks in Manipur will additionally remain shut on August 13 for Patriot's Day, honouring those who died in the Anglo-Manipuri War of 1891. The regular Sunday closure on August 16 applies countrywide. All SBI, HDFC, ICICI, and PNB branches will be closed on these days, as per the RBI holiday calendar. Digital banking services, internet banking, mobile apps, UPI, and ATMs, continue to operate 24x7 on all holidays. Customers requiring in-branch services like document verification or locker access should plan their visit on working days.
