Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued a directive (RBI/2024-25/103) addressing the status of March 30, 2025, for government transactions via its e-Kuber platform. Typically, e-Kuber, the RBI’s core banking solution for government payments, does not process transactions on Sundays and other designated global holidays. However, as March 30, 2025, falls on a Sunday, the Controller General of Accounts has advised marking the day as a working day for government transactions to ensure all receipts and payments are accounted for within the 2024-25 financial year. Consequently, e-Kuber will remain operational on March 30, 2025, to process government transactions and determine the cash balances for the Central and State Governments as of that date. Banks are also instructed to upload luggage files related to government transactions to e-Kuber by the stipulated cut-off time to ensure proper accounting.

2. Accordingly, it has been decided that e-Kuber will be open for Government transactions on March 30, 2025 so that all the Government transactions through integration with e-Kuber processed on March 30, 2025 are accounted for and the cash balances of Central Government and State Governments are arrived as on March 30, 2025.
3. Also, the luggage files from banks for transferring the data related to Government transactions to RBI would also be accepted by e-Kuber system on March 30, 2025 (Sunday) up to the stipulated cut-off time for accounting of the same on March 30, 2025 itself.
