The entire country of India celebrates three national holidays every year as we all know. In January, we celebrate Republic Day to honor the creation of our constitution. Independence Day is celebrated in August to honor the freedom from the United Kingdom. Finally, Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated in the month of October.
Bank holidays are declared for bank employees. A few banks will remain closed on the second and fourth Saturdays every month. Besides these regular holidays, banks will also remain closed on a few notable festival holidays, which tend to differ from one state to another. On a few festival holidays, banks will operate. So, it is extremely important to know whether or not banks are working on a specific day.
