Bank Holidays in India 2024
In 2024, bank holidays in India will vary based on national and regional observances, helping individuals plan their bank visits and financial transactions effectively.

Therefore, the dates of bank holidays in India would vary from year to another based on the national and regional observance. In 2024, the date of such holidays would be accessed by an individual with proper plans for visiting the bank and making financial transactions. The RBI declares the holidays, but the commercial, cooperative, and rural banks have a set practice for the observance of the same. Apart from the national holidays, each state has its own regional holidays as well. In India, all the banks operate on common holidays. They are closed also on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month.
