As part of ongoing efforts to increase retail participation in government securities, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced the ‘RBI Retail Direct' facility for the investors.
If you have any important work related to the bank that requires you to physically visit the branch then you may want to wrap it up by April 12 (Monday). According to the RBI Bank Holiday List, banks will remain closed due to Ambedkar Jayanti to Baisakhi and Bengali New Year holiday. In view of this, it will be better to reach the bank early in the morning and dispose of all the work.
Not all banks will be closed on the same day. The reason for this is that these festivals are according to different states. Banks in the particular state where the festival is celebrated will remain closed.
