October Bank Holidays: Banks across the country were closed on Saturday, October 11th, as it was the second Saturday of the month. Today is a Sunday holiday. Banks are usually closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month, as well as on Sundays. According to RBI bank holiday rules, banks across India are closed on these days. Banks are scheduled to reopen tomorrow, Monday, but there are several other days closed in between. If you are planning to go to the bank for any work, it is important to know when the banks will be closed beforehand so that you don't find out later when you reach the branch that the bank is closed today, wasting your time.
