Bank of India Opening & Closing Hours
Bank of India (BOI) branch hours vary by location type (metro/urban vs. semi-urban/rural). Branches operate Monday–Friday and on 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays. They close on 2nd/4th Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
| Branch Type | Monday–Friday | 1st, 3rd, 5th Saturday | Closed Days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metro/Urban | 9:45 AM – 4:45 PM | 9:45 AM – 4:45 PM | 2nd/4th Sat, Sun, holidays |
| Semi-Urban/Rural | 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM | 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM | 2nd/4th Sat, Sun, holidays |
These timings apply to customer services like cash transactions, deposits, and withdrawals. BOI branches generally remain open during lunch, though a short staff break (often 2:00–2:30 PM or 2:30–3:00 PM) may occur; service continues but may be slower.
Bank of India, a major public sector bank, maintains these hours to balance customer access with operational needs. Metro and urban branches open slightly earlier and close earlier to suit city schedules. Rural and semi-urban branches start and end later, accommodating local patterns.
Digital banking via BOI mobile app, net banking, ATMs, and phone banking provides 24/7 access for non-branch services like balance checks, transfers, and bill payments. This reduces the need for physical visits during limited hours.
Timings can vary slightly by branch or due to local regulations/special circumstances. Always confirm with your specific branch via the official BOI website, customer care (1800 103 1906 / 1800 220 229), or locator tool.
Planning visits outside peak hours (e.g., early morning or late afternoon) helps avoid crowds. For cash-intensive tasks, arrive well before closing as counters may stop accepting transactions near end time.
These standard hours have remained consistent in recent years, supporting reliable banking across India’s diverse regions
