Bank 4-Day Holidays: Along with festivals, holidays have started in banks. Currently, due to Dussehra holiday, banks are going to remain closed for 4 days in many places…
The festive season has gained momentum across the country. Dussehra or Durga Puja is a festival which is celebrated in some form or the other in almost every part of the country. On the occasion of this festival, along with festive fever, the excitement of holidays is also in full swing across the country. Due to this, the functioning of banks is going to be affected in many places.
Due to the festival of Dussehra, such a situation is being created in many places, which is being called the long weekend of October. Due to this, banks are going to remain closed for 4 consecutive days in many places.
Generally banks have a weekly holiday of one or two days. Apart from all Sundays of the month, there are bank holidays on the second and fourth Saturdays also. For this reason, there is a two-day weekend in banks every second week.
The long weekend of banks has started from 21st October. In many states, there will be a bank holiday for four consecutive days from October 21 to October 24. Yesterday was the third Saturday on 21st October, but due to Maha Saptami, there was a bank holiday in many states. Banks were closed in Tripura, Assam and West Bengal on 21 October.
Today is Sunday, 22nd October, so banks are closed across the country. Tomorrow on Monday, October 23, the functioning of banks will remain closed in Tripura, Assam and West Bengal on the occasion of Dussehra or Vijayadashami. After that, on Tuesday, October 24, banks will remain closed in Tripura, Assam and West Bengal on the occasion of Dussehra or Durga Puja.
This time the month of October is proving to be special in terms of holidays. The month had started with a long holiday.
There was a bank holiday in the entire country due to the first date of the month i.e. 1st October being Sunday. After that, banks remained closed across the country on October 2 due to the national holiday of Gandhi Jayanti.
After that, now this 4-day weekend has come, in which banks are going to remain closed for 4 consecutive days in Tripura, Assam and West Bengal.
