The Haryana government has declared that Eid-ul-Fitr on March 31 will be observed as a restricted holiday instead of a gazetted holiday, citing the financial year closing. This decision comes as the Income Tax Department offices will be operational from March 29 to 31 to provide assistance to taxpayers during this crucial period. Additionally, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has instructed banks responsible for handling government transactions to remain open on March 31 to carry out special clearing operations. This move aims to ensure smooth financial operations and assist individuals and businesses in meeting their financial obligations before the closure of the financial year.
