People are very excited as they are going to enter in 2020, but news came from RBI for customers that banks will remain closed for 16 days including all public holidays in January 2020. The holidays may differ from bank to bank or from one state to another. The Reserve Bank of India has released the state-wise bank holidays list.
It has been noted that people are all set to celebrate New Year 2020 on 1st January, so banks are supposed to be closed on 1st January as well. Four Sundays and two Saturdays fall in the list of January 2020 holidays.
