If you have any urgent banking tasks, it’s time to reschedule. Banks across India will remain closed on Thursday, August 15, for Independence Day, and in many states, Friday, August 16, will also be a holiday for Janmashtami.
This back-to-back closure could disrupt in-person services such as cash deposits, cheque clearances, and passbook updates. While ATMs, mobile banking, and internet banking will continue to function as usual, customers relying on branch visits should plan accordingly to avoid inconvenience.
These holidays fall under the Reserve Bank of India’s official holiday calendar and are being observed across several regions.
