New Delhi: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced the bank holidays for April 2023. There are 16 holidays listed by the central bank, including five weekly offs, the second and fourth Saturdays. These holidays are recognized under the Negotiable Instruments Act.
It’s important to note that the holidays may vary from state to state, so not all banks across the country will be closed on all 16 days.
