Bank Holidays in January 2022: Banks to remain closed for THESE days

New Delhi: We are only four days away from the start of the new year, 2022. As the month of January approaches, it is critical for all customers to understand when banks will be closed in the first month of 2022 in order to organise their financial operations. According to the Reserve Bank of India's bank holiday list, banking activity would be disrupted for 9 days in January, excluding weekends (second and fourth Saturdays and Sundays). It should be emphasised, however, that while banks will be closed on holidays, internet banking services will be available.

Due to the holidays, bank customers will be unable to withdraw or deposit funds at bank branches, but they will be able to use online banking, ATMs, mobile banking, and other services. Bank account holders should also be aware that on certain days, banks will only close in a few cities rather than nationwide. If you have any bank-related work to do, need to withdraw cash, or need to visit your nearest branch during the following week, please see the list of bank holidays below:
