List Of Bank Holidays In 2022 Across India
This year, we see a lot of bank holidays across the country. While the number of gazetted holidays doesn't differ across states, bank holidays do differ based on the festivals or events in each separate state. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has already furnished its list of bank holidays for this year. In the month of April alone, banks will remain shut for four days at a stretch. The RBI prepares the holiday list based on festivals and holidays in each state or region and releases the calendar at the start of each financial year.
