NDTV
Given the number of holidays this month, it's critical to schedule your bank visits timely.
The Reserve Bank Of India has released the list of bank holidays for the month of August. Banks will remain closed for a total of 13 days this month, as per the holiday calendar. Usually, bank branches are closed every other Saturday (second and fourth) and all Sundays. Public holidays are another reason you might find the bank doors shut.
In the case of state-specific festivals, the banks will remain shut only in those states, while during national festivals like Christmas, banks will remain shut across the country. Given the number of holidays this month, it's critical to schedule your bank visits timely.
The central bank divides holidays for all the banks in the country under three categories- Negotiable Instruments Act holidays, the Real-Time Gross Settlement holidays and the Banks' Closing of Accounts.
