As the vibrant festival of Holi approaches, banks across different states in India will observe holidays based on their regional calendars and the upcoming celebrations. Starting from February 28, banks will be closed for five consecutive days, which may cause inconvenience for anyone needing to conduct banking transactions. Additionally, schools will also have around four days of vacation during this festive period.

The first day of closure for banks coincides with the fourth Saturday of the month, followed by a Sunday, leading to a long weekend for bank employees. Following that, schools will be closed from March 2 to March 4, aligned with the Holi festival. It's essential for residents to be aware of these holiday schedules in order to plan their banking and educational needs accordingly. The holiday on March 2 will particularly affect banks in cities like Lucknow and Kanpur, where additional observances will be held for Holika Dahan, further extending the closure for local banking services.

This information serves as a reminder for individuals to complete any urgent banking tasks before the holiday period begins to avoid any delays. The confusion surrounding the holiday dates during festival seasons is common, and proactive awareness can help mitigate any last-minute inconveniences for those relying on banking services during this time.
