Understanding Bank Holiday Rules in India
Bank holidays in India fall under three broad categories:
-
Weekend closures (Sundays + 2nd & 4th Saturdays)
-
National holidays (Republic Day, Independence Day, etc.)
-
State-wise or religious festivals, which vary regionally
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) publishes an annual calendar accounting for these differences.
