Bank Holidays in May 2023: Banks to remain closed for 12 days in May, get full state-wise bank holiday list

According to the Reserve Bank of India, there will be a total of 12 bank holidays in May. Branches will be non-functional on account of festivals, important days, Sundays, and second and fourth Saturdays. It is to be noted, however, that some festivals/important days are specific only to certain states. In such a case, therefore, banks will not open in that state or region

Therefore, Customers who are planning to visit their respective banks in the month of May should plan their visit according to the bank holidays calendar.

However, it is important to note that the bank holiday in each state will depend upon the list of holidays released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on its official website. So, it’s always a good idea to check the RBI website for the latest updates on bank holidays.
