These days, banks provide several convenience services to its customers. The countrywide ATMs make it possible to make withdrawals and deposits through machines without having to visit the banks in person. Most financial transactions and banking functions can be done online on the dedicated portals of the concerned bank. Hence the reasons for which customers would visit banks have dwindled these days. At the same time, keeping track of the bank holidays can let you stay well-equipped to manage the unexpected emergencies and avoid any disappointments or disruptions to your business or personal activities that involve money and banking.

As per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, banks do not work on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. Also, Sundays are the regular weekend holidays. Here is a list of bank holidays for October month.
