New Delhi: Lenders will be closed in various regions of India for three consecutive days beginning on Sunday, August 7, due to three bank holidays in the first week of August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are six bank holidays for the second week of the month, as banks across the country will be closed for various festivities such as Raksha Bandan and Muharram, among others. In August, there are 18 bank holidays, one of which has already passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Reserve Bank of India, or RBI, has already issued a schedule of bank holidays for August 2022. The bank holidays will be observed in accordance with the schedule. Banks will be closed on the following dates: August 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14 for Muharram, Raksha Bandhan, Patriot’s Day, and the weekend. It should be noted that many bank holidays are regional in nature and may vary from state to state and from bank to bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In August, there are 18 bank holidays, six of which are weekend holidays. There are 13 regional holidays during which lenders in some locations remain closed due to events in such areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each year, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) determines bank holidays in three categories: Negotiable Instruments Act Holiday, Real Time Gross Settlement Holiday, and Banks’ Closing of Accounts. Banks throughout the country will be closed on August 15, which is a Monday this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
