When do banks usually close for holidays?
RBI categorizes all bank holidays into three parts, namely, Negotiable Instruments Act, Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) holidays and closure of accounts by banks.
According to the RBI bank holiday calendar, bank holidays vary from region to region depending on the festivals and rituals. However, all banks keep holidays on national holidays like Republic Day and Gandhi Jayanti.
Apart from general holidays, banks are usually closed on second and fourth Saturdays. They are open on the first, third and fifth Saturday of every month. Every Sunday is a bank holiday across the country.
Saturday is a bank holiday designated as a holiday by the RBI under the Negotiable Instruments Act. It controls the issue of bank holiday checks and promissory notes.
These services are available on bank holidays
Essential services remain available on bank holidays and online banking is a major aspect of banking activity while physical branches remain closed. Apart from this, ATMs remain open even on bank holidays.
This means customers can withdraw cash, send money online, check their bank balance, issue mini statements and even apply for loans on bank holidays. Activities that require a physical visit to a bank branch, like cashing a check or meeting with your bank manager, remain suspended on bank holidays. As bank holidays vary from region to region, customers are advised to check with their local branch before visiting.
