If you are planning to visit your bank for some important work then you will have to reschedule or change your plan as in the coming week top banks in the country will be closed. Hence before visiting your bank make sure that it is open that day.
Due to many Indian festivals and special occasions in April, many banks in the country will remain closed next week. These holidays may cause little inconvenience hence people are advised to complete their important bank work this week itself.
Every year the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) releases the list of bank holidays for the public and private banks of the country. The holidays are divided into three categories –
-
Holiday under Negotiable Instruments Act.
-
