The RBI’s list of holidays can be divided into three categories – state-wise holidays, religious holidays, and festivals.
New Delhi: Banks in India will remain closed for a total of seven days in the rest of March 2022. Lenders across various parts of the country will remain closed on the official holidays. However, not all banks will remain closed in the country, as on state-specific holidays, banks in only that state/s remain shut.
So, if you have an important banking lineup, you must take note of all upcoming bank holidays in your state before stepping out to visit your nearby bank branch. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) comes up with the list of holidays in a calendar year.
The RBI’s list of holidays can be divided into three categories – state-wise holidays, religious holidays, and festivals. However, even on bank holidays, customers can use net-banking services to complete crucial banking work.
In total, banks were to remain closed for a total of 13 days in March 2022. Out of the total 13 bank holidays, 7 are as per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar list while the remaining holidays are of 2n and 4th Saturdays and all Sundays in the month.
But bank customers should note that not all banks will be closed at the same time on all days, barring the weekend leaves. For example, banks will be closed for Bihar Divas (March 22) in Bihar but NOT in Tamil Nadu for the same occasion.
