However, customers can still use ATMs, UPI, internet banking, and mobile banking for routine transactions. Services requiring a physical branch visit, such as document submission and account-related requests, will not be available at closed branches. The next state-specific closures are scheduled for August 28 for Raksha Bandhan and other regional observances.",
