Banks in Tripura will remain closed today, 19 July, due to celebration of Ker Puja.
What are the typical bank holidays?
There are bank holidays across India on the second and fourth Saturdays, as per RBI bank holiday rules. Since it is the first Saturday of the month, banks will remain open on July 19.
The RBI categorises all bank holidays into three parts, namely, Negotiable Instruments Act, Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) holidays and banks’ closing of accounts.
This is why, bank holidays change depending upon the area you reside in.
Banks remain closed on all Sundays. Apart from weekends, bank holidays are based on national, regional and religious observances, depending on the state of residence. These holidays are determined by the RBI holiday calendar, which is released during the beginning of each year.
Will I be able to avail online banking services on bank holiday?
Online banking services do not follow bank holidays rule and remain available all throughout the year. This enables customers to get their needs addressed even on bank holidays. Online banking services can be used for various purposes including UPI access, money transfer, applying for online loan, net banking, requesting for a chequebook and other transactions.
