Not every state holiday closes banks — Executive Order holidays (for example Kabir Jayanti) close only government offices. Check the RBI holiday list for Patna 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.
