Let us tell you that RBI gives holidays in three categories for banks – Holiday under Negotiable Instruments Act; Holiday under Negotiable Instruments Act and Real Time Gross Settlement Holiday; and Banks’ Closing of Accounts. But these holidays apply according to different states. For example, some festivals are regional, so there is no holiday for them in the entire country, only the banks of that concerned area remain closed.
For your information, let us tell you that during these holidays, you cannot get that work done for which you have to go to the bank. But you can do online/mobile banking even when banks are closed (Banks are closed in January). Facilities like digital banking and payment etc. will continue to be available.
