The RBI's framework for bank holidays ensures that banking services align with both national and regional observances. National holidays, such as Republic Day , Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti, are uniformly observed across all states. Additionally, each state may have its own set of regional holidays, which can affect banking operations locally.

On the second and fourth Saturdays, banks will not be open, giving employees a regular break each month. This practice aligns with the RBI's efforts to standardize banking hours and provide consistent service schedules nationwide. Similarly, Sundays are universally observed as non-banking days, providing a weekly rest period for both staff and customers.
