Digital Desk: Before visiting your bank branch in March 2022, you should be aware of the important dates on which various bank branches in the country will be closed. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has specified specific days in March 2022 when there would be bank holidays and banking operations would be suspended, however internet banking operations will continue to operate.
Banks will be closed for a total of 13 days in March, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar schedule, with the remaining days being weekends.
It should be noted, however, that banks will NOT be closed for 13 days in all states or areas. This is the total number of days that banks across the country will be closed for state-observed holidays. Bank branches, for example, may be closed for Bihar Divas in Bihar but NOT for the same celebration in Assam.
