If you have any banking tasks to tackle in February, it’s best to get them organized now. Delaying could lead to significant inconveniences. The reason for this is that banks will be closed for about two weeks throughout the month. Several national and state-specific festivals will cause these closures. 

 

For instance, festivals like Saraswati Puja on February 3, Thai Poosam, Guru Ravi Das Jayanti, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, and Mahashivratri will result in bank closures in various states and across the country. In total, there are 6 holidays falling on weekends and 8 related to festivals, making for a total of 14 bank holidays according to the RBI calendar. We’ll also provide details on the specific dates and reasons for the bank holidays in each state, so you can plan your banking activities in February more effectively.
