Banks in India to Close Only on Sunday, November 16
Next week, Indian banks will only be closed on Sunday, November 16, because it's a regular holiday.
Even though Saturday, November 15, is the third Saturday of the month, banks will be open for you to do your banking.
Usually, banks are also closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month.
This November, banks have already had five days off because of holidays specific to certain regions.
But don't worry, the government hasn't announced any more special holidays for the rest of November, besides the usual Sunday closing.
This means most Saturdays and weekdays will be normal banking days.
If you need to do something important when the bank is closed, you can still use online banking, phone apps, or ATMs.
Services like transferring money or requesting a new checkbook are also available digitally.
