Bank Holidays: Banks To Remain Closed For 3 Days This Week, Check State-Wise Complete Calendar HERE
As the second month of the financial year gets underway, individuals planning their banking activities and investment tasks may need to take note of upcoming bank closures. According to the official calendar released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), banking operations will be suspended on up to three separate days this week in various regions of the country. Each year, the RBI issues a detailed schedule of bank holidays, outlining days off based on national observances, regional festivals, local occasions, and regular weekends. Typically, banks remain non-operational on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, along with all Sundays. This pattern helps customers plan their in-person visits to branches well in advance. Bank Holidays This Week This week, banks in the state of West Bengal will observe a public holiday on May 9, Friday, to commemorate Rabindranath Tagore on his birth anniversary. In addition to this region-specific closure, there will be a nationwide banking break over the weekend. All banks across India will be shut on May 10 for the second Saturday and on May 11, Sunday, in line with the standard weekly schedule. While these closures may affect in-person services, essential digital channels will continue to function without disruption. Customers can still access ATMs, mobile banking apps, and internet banking platforms during this time. Any disruption in these facilities is always informed to the customers well in advance, ensuring that services remain predictable and dependable even on bank holidays. It is important to note that the RBI’s holiday list, though comprehensive, is occasionally updated. Sometimes changes are made by the banking regulator in this schedule at the last minute and therefore, it is advised to keep in touch with the local branch of your bank. Staying informed through local branches can help avoid any last-minute surprises when planning time-sensitive banking activities.
