Many major festivals in the next 15 days
If we look at the holiday calendar after October 15 of the Reserve Bank, banks are going to be closed on the occasion of Diwali, Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj. However, bank holidays vary across states and cities. On the major festivals of many states, there is a holiday in banks only in those states.
Online service will continue
Actually, banking holidays also depend on the festivals celebrated in different states or other events taking place in those states. Even though the branches of banks remain closed during the festive season, but during this time you can do banking related work online. This service will continue as usual. You can easily do any type of transaction through online banking.
However, also keep in mind that banks are open on the first and third Saturdays of the month. If Saturday is a holiday in your office, then you can go to this day and complete your work.
