Bank Holidays in India 2024
Posted on Tuesday, September 17th, 2024 | By IndusInd Bank
Today, with online banking apps, you can perform distinct activities – from opening a savings account to making transfers – right from your smartphone. Despite this convenience, being aware of bank holidays is still essential for certain banking activities such as cheque clearance and loan disbursements that require banks to be operational while initiated via an app.
For instance, cheque clearance often requires physical processing only on working days. Likewise, loan disbursements might require final approval and processing by bank staff. Besides national holidays and festive holidays, all banks in India are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. Here’s a list of some major bank holidays in 2024 that you should be aware of.
