Banks across India closed today on second Saturday. SBI, HDFC Bank, PNB, ICICI Bank and all other major lenders shut branches for the day. The RBI categorizes bank holidays into three types: Negotiable Instruments Act holidays, Real-Time Gross Settlement holidays, and account closing periods. Second and fourth Saturdays remain closed nationwide, while first, third, and fifth Saturdays stay open. All Sundays are bank holidays across the country. Regional festivals create additional closures varying by location. April brings multiple holidays including Ambedkar Jayanti on April 14 affecting branches in major cities, and Baisakhi celebrations on April 14 and 15 in select regions. Customers should plan transactions accordingly and check the RBI calendar for their specific branch location to avoid disruptions to banking services.
