Planning a bank visit in June? You might need to check the bank holiday list first!
Customers should plan their bank trips in advance as branches in several states are headed for holidays in the month of June. Since these holidays differ from state to state, it is better to check the holiday list first to avoid a wasted trip.
In addition to festival-related closures, banks across the country also remain shut on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, as per Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines.
