Bank holidays in August 2022

Banks are the most important component of the country’s economy. Banks coordinate the financial activity of a nation linking the government and the people, and the various segments of the society. Banks fulfill a long list of financial activities and requirements for individuals, organizations, commercial establishments and the government. Therefore, our economic, social and personal lives are highly centered on banks, their products and services.

Like any other institution in the country, banks remain closed on select days of the year. On these days, visiting banks is not possible. Though most banking functions happen online, bank visits and all those banking functions personally coordinated by the bank employees do not happen on bank holidays. Therefore, keeping track of bank holidays in every month is important to ensure you do not have to face disappointments.

Nobody wants to get struck due to a bank holiday when there is some important transaction or banking activity coming up. Therefore, mark the August 2022 bank holidays on your calendar well in advance so that your financial planning goes on smoothly without any disruptions.

Bank holidays are of two kinds namely national and regional. While national holidays are applicable to the banks throughout the nation, the regional holidays specifically apply to the banks in the concerned state. As per the instructions by the Reserve bank of India, banks in the country do not work on second and fourth Saturdays in all months. In addition, banks are closed for the weekend on Sundays.
