Bank of Maharashtra Branch Timings and Contact Details

Bank of Maharashtra is a major public-sector bank with branches across India. Customers can use its mobile banking, Internet Banking, UPI, WhatsApp Banking, ATMs and other digital services for many routine transactions, but several requirements still need a branch visit.

A customer may need to visit a branch for cash transactions, KYC or account updates, document verification, cheque-related work, locker services, nomination changes, loan documentation and other services that require physical records or interaction with branch officials. Knowing the branch’s actual customer-banking hours and working days can therefore save time.

Bank of Maharashtra does not publish one single opening and closing time for every branch in India. Its official Branch & ATM Locator is designed to provide branch-specific information, while the bank’s official material for public-sector banks in Maharashtra shows that customer-banking hours can differ according to the type of area. Customers should therefore verify the selected branch before travelling.

Here is a practical guide to Bank of Maharashtra branch timings, Saturday working days, holidays, lunch arrangements and current official customer-care contact details.

Bank of Maharashtra Branch Timings – Quick Overview

What Are the Bank of Maharashtra Branch Timings?

Bank of Maharashtra should not be treated as having one fixed nationwide branch schedule. The bank maintains an official Branch & ATM Locator for checking individual locations, and branch hours may differ according to local banking arrangements.

For public-sector bank branches in Maharashtra, an official uniform-banking-hours notice hosted by Bank of Maharashtra sets three customer-banking time bands. Branches in residential areas follow 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM customer banking hours, branches in commercial areas follow 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and branches in other areas or offices follow 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The same notice distinguishes customer-banking hours from the wider working hours of the branch. For example, the working-day span for other areas/offices is shown as 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM even though customer banking is listed up to 4:00 PM.

These Maharashtra timings should not be automatically applied to every Bank of Maharashtra branch elsewhere in India. For another state, or for a time-sensitive transaction, checking the particular branch through the official locator is the safer approach.

Bank of Maharashtra Working Days

Bank of Maharashtra branches normally work from Monday to Friday except when an applicable public or bank holiday falls on that date. Saturday working depends on which Saturday of the month it is.

The bank’s own Public Notice states that the second and fourth Saturdays of every month are public holidays for banks and that the other Saturdays are full working days.

Bank of Maharashtra Saturday Working Schedule

The normal Saturday schedule is:

• 1st Saturday – Working day
• 2nd Saturday – Bank holiday
• 3rd Saturday – Working day
• 4th Saturday – Bank holiday
• 5th Saturday – Working day, when the month has one

A working Saturday should not automatically be assumed to have reduced hours. Customers should check the branch-specific schedule when the visit involves cash, clearing, documentation or another time-sensitive service.

Bank of Maharashtra Lunch Timings

Bank of Maharashtra does not publish one fixed nationwide lunch-closure period for all branches. Customers should therefore not assume that every branch formally shuts all counters during a standard period such as 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.

Staff meal breaks can be managed according to branch staffing and local arrangements. For services requiring a particular officer, extensive paperwork, locker access or loan documentation, visiting earlier in the customer-banking window is generally more convenient.

Bank of Maharashtra Holidays

Apart from Sundays and the second and fourth Saturdays, branches may remain closed on public and bank holidays applicable to their location. Holiday calendars can differ from state to state because several holidays depend on regional festivals and local notifications.

Bank of Maharashtra provides a State Wise Holiday facility on its official website. Customers planning important branch work around a festival or long weekend should check the applicable holiday list and the selected branch before travelling.

Do All Bank of Maharashtra Branches Have the Same Timings?

No. The official material itself shows that customer-banking hours can vary by area, and the bank provides a Branch & ATM Locator for location-specific details.

A customer should therefore check the particular branch rather than relying on a generic timing found elsewhere. This is especially important for branches in commercial areas, special locations and branches outside Maharashtra.

Bank of Maharashtra Customer Care Numbers

Bank of Maharashtra provides 24×7 customer assistance through MAHASEVA and its toll-free contact numbers.

Bank of Maharashtra Debit and Credit Card Blocking

If a Bank of Maharashtra debit card is lost, stolen, damaged or suspected of misuse, the bank advises customers to block it immediately.

A debit card can be hot-listed through the 24×7 customer-care numbers 1800 102 2636 or 1800 233 4526. The bank also supports card blocking through Internet Banking, the Zen Lyfe mobile app, WhatsApp Banking and a branch visit.

For credit cards, the bank also lists the same toll-free numbers for immediate blocking in case of loss, theft or suspected misuse. Waiting for a branch to open is unnecessary when an emergency blocking channel is available.

Bank of Maharashtra Fraud and Unauthorised Transaction Reporting

Customers who notice an unauthorised electronic transaction should report it to the bank immediately through its 24×7 contact channels. Bank of Maharashtra also directs customers affected by cyber financial fraud to report the incident through the national cybercrime reporting system and helpline 1930.

Prompt reporting is important because it allows the bank to take protective action on cards and digital channels and helps reduce the possibility of further unauthorised transactions.

Bank of Maharashtra Grievance Redressal

Bank of Maharashtra follows a structured complaint-escalation system. A customer should first raise the matter with the concerned Branch Manager. If the issue is not resolved satisfactorily, it can be escalated to the concerned Zonal Head and then to the bank’s nodal or grievance authorities at Head Office.

The bank’s current Nodal Officers page identifies Shilpa Shinde, Assistant General Manager, Customer Services and Grievances Redressal Cell, as a Nodal Officer for public grievances. The office is at 4th Floor, Janmangal Building, 1177 Budhwar Peth, Pune – 411002.

The same page lists Shri Shirish Salway, General Manager – Transaction Monitoring Department, as Principal Code Compliance Officer / Chief Nodal Officer / Chief Grievances Officer, including for digital-lending and fintech-related issues. The listed telephone number is 020-24504230.

Customers can also use hocomplaints@bankofmaharashtra.bank.in and cmcustomerservice@bankofmaharashtra.bank.in for complaint-related communication.

Bank of Maharashtra WhatsApp Banking

Bank of Maharashtra’s official WhatsApp Banking number is +91 70660 36640. Customers can save the number and send “Hi” to begin.

The bank states that WhatsApp Banking is available 24×7 and supports services such as account-balance enquiry, mini statements, loan-account enquiry, account statements, pension slips, cheque-book requests, cheque-status enquiry, branch and ATM location information and contact details. The service is free from the bank, although normal internet charges may apply.

Bank of Maharashtra Missed Call Services

Customers whose mobile number is registered with the bank can use the current missed-call facilities published on Bank of Maharashtra’s Contact Us page:

• Balance enquiry – 98333 35555
• Mini statement – 72878 88886
• E-statement for the last 30 days – 72878 88887

Balance information and mini-statement details are sent through SMS, while the e-statement facility sends the statement to the customer’s registered email address.

Services Available When Bank of Maharashtra Branches Are Closed

Physical branch closure does not stop all banking services. Customers can continue using supported facilities through Internet Banking, Zen Lyfe/Maha Mobile services, UPI, WhatsApp Banking, ATMs and other digital channels.

Many routine tasks such as balance checks, fund transfers, UPI payments, card controls and account information can be handled digitally. Services requiring original documents, physical signatures, locker access, in-person verification or direct consultation with branch officials may still require a branch visit.

Bank of Maharashtra Head Office

Bank of Maharashtra’s Head Office is located at:

Bank of Maharashtra
Head Office, “Lokmangal”
1501, Shivajinagar
Pune – 411005
Telephone: 020-25514501 to 020-25514505

Best Time to Visit a Bank of Maharashtra Branch

The best time depends on the selected branch’s declared customer-banking hours. For branches in Maharashtra, the official time band can differ between residential, commercial and other areas. Customers elsewhere should check the official Branch & ATM Locator for their location.

For account opening, KYC changes, loan documentation, locker work, nomination changes or any service requiring an officer, arriving well before the end of customer-banking hours is advisable. It is also useful to check whether the proposed visit falls on a Saturday, regional holiday or long holiday weekend.

For an urgent or time-sensitive visit, confirming the exact branch schedule through Bank of Maharashtra’s official Branch & ATM Locator and contacting the branch before travelling remains the safest approach.
