The Reserve Bank of India releases list of bank holidays.
Banks nationwide will be closed for New Year’s celebrations on Monday, so customers are advised to plan their activities accordingly.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released the list of bank holidays, designating January 1 as a national bank holiday throughout India in celebration of the new year.
The RBI’s holiday list includes state-specific bank holidays, while national holidays result in the closure of banks across the country.
The central bank of the country classifies bank holidays as either ‘national’ or ‘regional,’ with branches nationwide closed on the former. The banks are also closed on second and fourth Saturdays and Sundays.
It’s important to note that even on non-working days, online financial services remain operational as usual.
