Looking for a quick escape from your monotonous routine? April 2026 is the perfect time to pack your bags, as the month is packed with holidays. From Good Friday to regional New Year celebrations like Baisakhi and Poila Baisakh, there are several opportunities for long weekends. However, keep an eye on the banking schedule to ensure your financial plans stay on track.

As per RBI guidelines, banks nationwide will remain closed on April 1 (Wednesday) for annual closing. This is followed by Good Friday on April 3. Other major closures include the second Saturday (April 11), Ambedkar Jayanti (April 14), and Bengali New Year (April 15). The fourth Saturday falls on April 25. Apart from these, the four Sundays (April 5, 12, 19, and 26) are standard holidays. Specific regional holidays like Bohag Bihu in Assam or Vishu in Kerala will also see local bank closures. With such a jam-packed holiday calendar, April is indeed the best time to plan that much-awaited trip!
