Where Will Banks Remain Closed?
Banks will observe holidays on August 28 for Raksha Bandhan and regional festivals including Pang Lhabsol, Sree Narayana Guru Jayanti and Ayyankali Jayanti.
Branches will remain closed in Lucknow, Kanpur, New Delhi, Bhopal, Jaipur, Dehradun, Shimla, Srinagar, Jammu, Gangtok, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. Banks across Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat will also remain shut for Raksha Bandhan.
In Kerala, banks will be closed to mark the birth anniversaries of social reformers Sree Narayana Guru and Ayyankali.
Banking operations in Sikkim will remain suspended because of Pang Lhabsol, a significant regional festival.
Customers should remember that bank holidays differ across states and cities. A holiday in one location does not necessarily mean branches will remain closed nationwide.
