October Bank Holidays: Banks across the country remained closed on Saturday, October 11 because it was the second Saturday of the month. Today is Sunday holiday. Generally banks are closed on the second and fourth Saturday of the month as well as on Sundays. As per RBI bank holiday rules, banks across India remain closed on these days. Banks are going to open tomorrow i.e. from Monday, but in the meantime banks are going to remain closed for many more days. If you are thinking of going to the bank to do any work, then it is important to know before that when the bank will be closed so that later after reaching the branch, you do not find out that the bank is closed today, this will only waste your time.
