People always ask questions like, Which Saturday bank holiday?, Working Saturday for / of banks?, Bank working Saturdays/today for banks / this month / today? and to get clarity, kindly read through.
In India, banks, including private and PSU banks, usually have holidays on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of every month. If a month has five Saturdays, the 5th Saturday is a working day for banks. However, many people are confused about which Saturday a bank is working and which Saturday the bank is closed. I hope after going through this, you will understand the simple logic behind this and be able to answer yourself: Is the bank working today?
