Digitization has changed the way people transact online. This has also impacted banking transactions. A few years ago, one had to visit the bank’s branch for most of the transactions. Things have changed drastically after 2018. Nowadays, several transactions can be completed from your smartphone without visiting a bank. You can transact online even on bank holidays. For example, if you live in Panaji, you can make an online fund transfer even on a bank holiday on a Saturday in Goa.

However, not everyone performs all kinds of banking transactions online. People still have to visit a bank’s branch due to lack of online orientation or simply because they are comfortable performing some tasks offline as compared to online. If you belong to this category, you need to be aware of bank holidays. Many public and private enterprises are closed on bank holidays in Goa. Therefore, if you have some banking transactions lined up, you need to know about Goa’s bank holidays.
