If you have not dealt with any important work related to your bank, then deal with it immediately. Because the new month is going to start and in next month there will be no work in the banks for a total of 12 days in India.
Let us inform you that the Reserve Bank of India had already released the list of holidays for 2021. All government and private banks in total will be closed for 12 days next month. These will also include the holidays of Saturday-Sunday.
The RBI list mentions seven government holidays including next Christmas. But Christmas is falling on the fourth Saturday of the month. So a holiday got reduced like this. For your information, let us tell you that there are 3 categories in the list of holidays of RBI. These include holidays of different states, religious holidays and other festivals.
It is important for you to know that the banks will not remain closed for 12 days in all the states. Rather, some holidays are for only a few states. It happens that on some state-wise holidays only the banks of the respective states remain closed. For example, December 3 will be a bank holiday on the occasion of the Feast of St. Francis Xavier in Goa, but services will be available in other parts of the country.
RBI classifies certain holidays under the category of 'Holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act'. The categories for others are 'Holidays under Negotiable Instruments Act' and 'Real Time Gross Settlement Holiday' and 'Banks' Closing of Accounts'. In this way, even if Christmas was not on the weekend, banks would have remained closed in every part of the country. These include Jammu, Kanpur, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Imphal, Jaipur, Kochi, Kolkata, New Delhi, Panaji, Patna, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, Raipur, Ranchi, Shillong, Shimla, Srinagar and Thiruvananthapuram.
