EMIs, UPI and ATMs on a bank holiday
EMIs and auto-debits do not stop on a bank holiday. Since 1 August 2021, NACH works on all days of the week (RBI, 4 June 2021). NACH is the system that collects loan EMIs, SIPs and insurance premiums. Thus, if your EMI date is a holiday, the bank can debit your account on that day. Keep the money in your account on the day before. UPI, ATMs, cards and internet banking usually continue to operate. Branches close, and cheques wait for the next working day.
