New Delhi: If today, on September 22, you have any important work in the bank, then you have to change your planning. Today, banks will remain closed in most parts of the country, so when you go to the branch, you will get a lock hanging on the door. It is better that you definitely read this news before leaving the house.
But the question is, what is the special thing today, which has been announced in banks?
Why is banks holiday today?
Actually, today is ‘Shri Narayan Guru Samadhi Day’ on Monday, September 22. This day is dedicated to the great social reformer and saint Shri Narayan Guru, who raised a new revolution against casteism and social discrimination in Kerala and all over South India. This day is especially celebrated to honor their paths shown and their teachings.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) releases a list of banks’ holidays every year. Under this list, ‘Sri Narayan Guru Samadhi Day’ has been given a holiday under ‘Negotiable Instruments Act’.
Where will the banks be closed?
It is important to note that this holiday does not apply all over the country. According to the official website of RBI, today mainly Kochi, Panaji and Thiruvananthapuram Like banks in cities will remain closed. That is, its special effect will be seen in Kerala and Goa. The functioning of banks in the rest of the country like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Uttar Pradesh and other states will continue normally.
What to do if work is necessary?
Even though the bank branches are closed, it will not stop your banking. You can handle all these things while sitting at home:
- Mobile banking and net banking will be operational 24 hours.
- There will be no difficulty in extracting cash from ATM.
- You can easily send or ask for money through UPI.
So if you do not live in holiday cities, then you do not need to worry. But if you are in Kerala or Goa, then cancel your plan to go to your bank today.
