This week, the month of July will end on Wednesday and the month of August will begin on Thursday. Every new month brings with it many changes. In July, work in government and private banks remained closed for 12 days. Like July, banks will remain closed for many days in August too. If you have postponed important bank related work for the next month, then check the list of holidays once because the 78th anniversary of independence is falling in August. Apart from this, there are also festivals like Rakhi and Krishna Janmashtami.
All government and private banks across the country will remain closed on the occasion of Independence Day on 15 August. Apart from this, banks will remain closed in many parts of the country due to Rakhi on 19 August and Krishna Janmashtami on 26 August. Similarly, due to various reasons, banks will remain closed for 4 more days in some parts of the country. Apart from these, banks will remain closed for 6 days on the weekend including 4 Sundays and 2 Saturdays. In such a situation, after leaving home for the bank, you do not have to return without doing any work. You can check the complete list of holidays in the month of August here.
