Bank Holidays This Week

This week, banks in the state of West Bengal will observe a public holiday on May 9, Friday, to commemorate Rabindranath Tagore on his birth anniversary.

In addition to this region-specific closure, there will be a nationwide banking break over the weekend. All banks across India will be shut on May 10 for the second Saturday and on May 11, Sunday, in line with the standard weekly schedule.

While these closures may affect in-person services, essential digital channels will continue to function without disruption. Customers can still access ATMs, mobile banking apps, and internet banking platforms during this time. Any disruption in these facilities is always informed to the customers well in advance, ensuring that services remain predictable and dependable even on bank holidays.

It is important to note that the RBI’s holiday list, though comprehensive, is occasionally updated. Sometimes changes are made by the banking regulator in this schedule at the last minute and therefore, it is advised to keep in touch with the local branch of your bank. Staying informed through local branches can help avoid any last-minute surprises when planning time-sensitive banking activities.
