There is a confusion whether it is a Bank holiday or not on 5th April,12 on account of "Mahavir Jayanti". Some newspapers and websites declared that 5th and 6th April, Banks will be closed for  "Mahavir Jayanti" and "Good Friday" and this news created lot of confusion to Bank employees and customers.

5th April is NOT a nationwide Bank Holiday. Bank branches in Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Haryana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal will remain closed as a holiday on account of "Mahavir Jayanti".
In the rest of the country, the bank will operate normally.
