Individuals, businesses and enterprises of all kinds depend on banks for several functions and processes. Therefore, the importance of banks in our life, economy and society cannot be overstated. Keeping track of bank holidays can help play our financials and other banking functions without resulting in any uninterrupted delays, breaks or interruptions. Here is the list of bank holidays in India for the month of March 2022.

Reserve Bank of India is the authoritative head that designs the various policies with regard to banks and also oversees their implementation. Bank holidays in India follow the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India and hence we can expect a uniform system of holidays across the nation.

The public holidays in India applicable to banks are of two kinds namely regional and national. While regional holidays commonly apply to banks in all states of India, regional holidays are meant for the banks of a given state as per the local customs, events and requirements. While Sundays are the default weekend holidays, banks do not function on the second and fourth Saturdays of all months. To confirm the bank holidays in a given state, it is necessary to consult the state holiday gazette.
