Important Note About Bank Closures

It’s important to know that banks are not closed nationwide for all holidays. Each state observes its own festivals and has specific days when banks are closed. For example, Bohag Bihu is celebrated in Assam, but banks in other states will operate as usual.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) categorizes holidays into three types:

• Holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act
• Holidays under Negotiable Instruments Act and Real Time Gross Settlement Holiday
• Banks’ Closing of Accounts

Banking holidays can also vary based on notifications from state governments and may not be followed by all private and public sector banks.
