Bank Holiday For Ganesh Chaturthi: Even though banks will remain closed in many cities on Ganesh Chaturthi, it will not have any impact on digital banking. Ganesh Chaturthi is a big festival of the year and there is a lot of pomp and show at many places on this day. But like every year, people also have this question in their mind that whether the banks will be open or closed on this day. If you have any important bank work, then it will be beneficial for you to know this in advance.
This is because the list of RBI holidays is not the same everywhere. That is, banks will be closed in some cities and may remain open in some places. In such a situation, check whether your bank branch will be working on 27 August or not.

Check the list of holidays before going to the bank
RBI releases a list of bank holidays every year so that customers can plan their important work in advance. Holidays are different in every state, so it is important to know on which day the bank will be closed in your city. If you are going to the bank for work like paying loan EMI, getting the check cleared or withdrawing cash, then check the list of holidays before going.
