Customers will be able to conduct transactions uninterrupted by the closure of physical branches, since digital banking and payment services including ATMs, mobile applications, and online banking will continue to function properly.
According to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) holiday schedule, banks in a number of Indian towns will closed on October 21 for Govardhan Puja, which falls one day after Diwali.
On October 21, the following cities will observe the holiday:
Belapur
Bhopal
The Gangtok
Jammu, Imphal, Guwahati
Mumbai
Nagpur
Srinagar Raipur
Customers will be able to conduct transactions uninterrupted by the closure of physical branches, since digital banking and payment services including ATMs, mobile applications, and online banking will continue to function properly.
The Govardhan Puja commemorates Lord Krishna raising the Govardhan hill to shield the Vrindavan residents from Indra’s torrential rains. It is recommended that customers who want to visit the bank or make cash deposits finish their transactions ahead of time to prevent last-minute hassle.
To commemorate the triumph of light over darkness, millions of Indians light up their homes and streets during the Diwali holiday.
