How RBI Classifies Bank Holidays
The Reserve Bank of India issues the list of bank holidays at the start of every year. Holidays fall under three main categories:
- Negotiable Instruments Act holidays
- Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) holidays
- Banks’ Closing of Accounts
Holiday schedules differ from state to state based on local festivals and observances.
