What makes Sunday bank openings?
The RBI has ordered banks to open on March 31st, Sunday. Considering that today is the last day of the current fiscal year 2023–2024, the Reserve Bank has made this decision.

In an instance like this, every bank will open, so that the transactions happening till the end of the financial year can be registered in the same year. The Government of India has requested to keep all branches of banks related to government receipt and payment open for transactions on March 31, so that accounts of all government transactions can be maintained.
What time do banks open?
As per the RBI, banks nationwide have been directed to open at their designated time on March 31, which is the annual closure of the fiscal year. On Sunday, March 31, all banks will open at their usual time and close at that same time. Customers can still make RTGS and NEFT transactions through midnight, though.
