There are a number of holidays in view of the festive season in the coming month of October. As many festivals fall during this month, it is important to plan our bank works accordingly.
As per the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), banks will remain shut on all public and some regional holidays. The holidays will fall depending on the particular state. While national holidays are fixed as per the guidelines of the Central government every year, the regional holidays are decided by the state government.
Due to the bank holidays, work of customers may be affected. In such a situation, it is better to get any important bank-related works done as soon as possible.
