Important Notes About Banking Holidays
Weekly Closures: Apart from these festivals, banks in India close on Sundays and the second and fourth Saturdays of every month.
Digital Banking Services: Online banking, mobile apps, UPI, IMPS, and net banking remain available even on holidays, allowing seamless transactions.
Regional Variations: Bank holidays vary significantly across states due to local festivals and observances.
RBI Notifications: Some holidays are designated under the Reserve Bank of India’s regulations, such as RTGS holidays and Negotiable Instruments Act holidays.
If you have important banking tasks like fund transfers, cheque deposits, or loan-related work, make sure to plan around these holidays. Digital banking provides convenience, but for physical banking services, knowing the holiday schedule is crucial.
