Banks in the country will be shut for nine days, in addition to regular holidays such as the second and fourth Saturdays of the month and Sundays. All nine holidays are state-specific holidays for different occasions, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar list.
However, online banking services will continue to operate. It must be noted that the bank holidays differ in various states as well and are not observed by all the banks.
