Bank Holiday: In observance of Janmashtami, banks in Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and Lucknow will be closed today.
Today, August 26, most banks in India will be closed in observance of Janmashtami. Nevertheless, since banking services will still be available in a number of significant cities, the holiday will not be observed consistently across the country. In accordance with the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) approved categories for bank closures, financial institutions will stay closed on Janmashtami.
Because bank holidays differ from state to state, customers should check with their local branches to find out if they are open or closed. Online and mobile banking services will continue to operate even after branch closures, allowing users to complete a variety of transactions online.
On August 26, the markets for capital, money, and commodities are expected to operate as usual.
