New Delhi: Before visiting your bank branch in the month of January 2022, you must take a note of the important days during which several bank branches will remain closed in the country.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has mentioned some days when the banking operations will remain closed in the month of January 2022, although online banking activities will continue to work.
Banks will remain closed for total 16 days in the month of December—9 as per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar list and the remaining days are that of weekends.
However, you must note that the banks will NOT be closed for 16 days in all states or regions.
