Not every state holiday closes banks — executive-order holidays (for example Sohrai or Vishwakarma Puja) close only government offices. Check the RBI holiday list for Ranchi before visiting a branch. UPI, net banking and ATMs keep working on bank holidays.

1 April

Banks close to the public on 1 April for annual account closing, even though government offices stay open.
