In October 2023, banks in various states of the country will witness 18 days of holidays, including Sundays and second and fourth Saturdays. It is to be noted that bank holidays will vary from state to state. The Reserve Bank of India regulates the functions of banks and decides their schedules and holidays for the entire year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, both public sector banks and private sector banks do not work on Sundays and on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. The banks also remain closed on public holidays, including regional holidays which are decided by the state governments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the month of October, banks across the country will remain closed on national holidays like Gandhi Jayanti on October 2. Reportedly, on October 24, a maximum number of banks will also remain non-functional because of the Dussehra holiday. Bank customers are advised to plan the bank-related works accordingly to avoid any last minute hassle. According to reports, internet banking services and ATMs will remain operational throughout the country on all days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
