Currency Chest operations on March 31, 2026

In terms of instructions contained in circular DoR.CO.SOG(Leg)No.401/09.08.024/2025-26 dated February 03, 2026, all branches of the banks dealing with Government receipts and payments are to be kept open for transactions on March 31, 2026 (Tuesday-Public Holiday), so as to account for the Government transactions in FY 2025-26 itself. Since such transactions might necessitate operations at CCs, the banks are advised to keep their CCs open on March 31, 2026, akin to a normal working day.

2. The CC holding banks shall keep the linked branches suitably informed.

Yours faithfully,

(Suman Nath)
Chief General Manager
