Bank Holiday: Will banks be open on September 21, 2024?
Banks in India are available to provide services on the first, third and fifth Saturday (if applicable) of the month. However, this is dependent on any specific holidays or closures. Therefore, customers should note that banks will be operational on the first, third and fifth Saturday (if applicable) unless there is a designated holiday.
