If you are planning to visit the bank on Saturday, you need to postpone it as the banks will be closed today. Since April 13, 2024 happens to be a second Saturday of this month, the bank operations will be closed. If you want to carry out banking transactions online, it is possible. But any bank-related work requiring help from the employees will not be possible.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has classified bank holidays into three categories: Holiday under Negotiable Instruments Act, Holiday under Negotiable Instruments Act and Real Time Gross Settlement Holiday, and Banks’ Closing of Accounts.
