What happened
The Controller General of Accounts has issued a frantic 'March Rush' circular ordering Pay and Accounts Offices to remain open on all Saturdays and Sundays in March 2026. To ensure not a single rupee is accidentally saved for the next fiscal year, officials must work overtime to process a mountain of pending bills. Banks have also been told that the March 31st public holiday is 'optional' for them, as the holy ritual of the 'Year-End Expenditure' takes precedence over human rest.
