RBI’s Role

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sets the annual bank holiday calendar, considering national, regional, and cultural events. This calendar is published on the RBI’s official website and informs banks and financial institutions of the scheduled holidays. Transactions involving cheques and promissory notes are not processed on these holidays.
