Bank Holidays List 2024: If you’re wondering if today, January 1, 2024, is a bank holiday, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has published a list of bank holidays that indicates that, in a select few states, banking operations will be closed on New Year’s Day.
The Real-Time Gross Settlement Holiday, Banks’ Closing of Accounts Holiday, and Negotiable Instruments Act are the three categories into which the RBI divides bank holidays.
In addition to this, all Sundays throughout the year and the second and fourth Saturdays of the month will see bank closures nationwide. It should be mentioned that account holders can still complete part of their financial tasks by using net banking and mobile banking services, even during bank holidays.
