New Delhi: Banks will remain closed for several days in August for the general public on account of several festivals and national holidays. If you are going to a bank for any purpose, you should have a look at the Reserve Bank of India’s list of bank holidays. Explain that there are three types of holidays given by RBI. These include national festivals, state-specific holidays and religious holidays.
Sometimes banks are open in UP, but are closed in Delhi. So it depends on the festivals of the state and the conditions there. This is also a variant by RBI, under which holidays are given and then all the holidays of the month are given after totaling them.
Banks will remain closed for 5 days in many states during the second week of August. Banks will remain closed on August 12, 13, 14 and 15 for Raksha Bandhan, Patriot Day and Independence Day. It also has Sundays and Saturdays.
