In February, out of the total 12 days of bank holidays (Bank Holidays in February), 4 holidays are on Sundays. Many of these holidays are also going to fall continuously. According to the holiday list given on the official website of RBI, these holidays are in different states. All these holidays will not be applicable in all the states simultaneously. At the same time, according to the guidelines of RBI, banks are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month apart from Sundays.
Due to the closure of the bank, those customers are most affected, who have to go to the bank themselves and get the work done. However, online banking services will continue to run on weekends as well, which brings relief to the customers. NEFT and other online channels also work on holidays due to the new rules implemented by RBI recently.
2 day bank strike
