Here is a look at bank holidays in May 2021

Banks fulfill several important functions in our business, professional and personal lives. Since, many things in our life depend on banks and their schedule, we need to keep track of bank holidays month after month to plan our money transactions and other banking activities. The month of May has quite a number of holidays, both regional and national. The second wave of Covid-19 pandemic has once again brought in a number of restrictions that have not spared banks, too. The latest regulations applicable to banks also differ from state to state and knowing the new regulations can help avoid confusion and disappointments.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is the authoritative body issuing the guidelines for banks in India. Banks in India do not work on second and fourth Saturdays. This will add up with the regular weekend closure on Sundays and other regional and national holidays for the month of May 2021, as applicable in the given state where the bank is located. Plan your banking functions in line with the bank working days to avoid any delays and disruptions.
