Why did RBI give bank holiday today on 13th November?
According to the RBI holiday list, banks will remain closed in Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, on November 13. There will be a bank holiday here due to Wangala Mahotsav. Wangala Festival is also called ‘Festival of 100 Drums’. During this period, government and private sector banks will remain closed. This includes all the major banks including State Bank of India (SBI), Punjab National Bank (PNB), Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. Let us tell you that this holiday will not be applicable in the entire country, it will be applicable only in Shillong.
Banks will remain open in these states including Delhi, Bihar
On November 13, except Shillong, banks will remain open like every day in other states and cities of the country. Banks will not remain closed on Friday in other states including Delhi, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Sikkim, Manipur, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. Therefore, get the work done quickly after knowing it. Let us tell you that bank holidays vary according to the state and city. In such a situation, before planning to go to the bank between 13th and 15th November, definitely check the holiday calendar of RBI.
Banks closed for two consecutive days on 14th and 15th November
If you are thinking that if it is not Friday then the work will be done by going to the bank the next day, then it is not going to happen. After Friday, work will not be done if you go to the bank on Saturday and Sunday also. 14th November is the second Saturday of the month. According to RBI rules, banks across the country remain closed on the second and fourth Saturday of every month. Therefore, all government and private banks will remain closed on 14th November. Due to the next day i.e. 15th November being Sunday, there will be a weekly holiday for banks across the country. In this way, at some places, bank branches will remain closed for three consecutive days from November 13.
You will be able to do these money related tasks even when the bank is closed
Despite banks being closed, customers will continue to get digital banking facilities. Money can be transferred through mobile banking and internet banking. The facility of making payment through UPI, withdrawing cash from ATM and checking bank balance will also be available normally. However, work related to visiting the bank branch, depositing cheque, making demand draft and other documents will not be possible. Therefore, if you have to go to the bank and do some important work, it would be better to complete it before the holiday.
