The festive season gets into full swing in the last week of August, with markets decked up for Ganesh Chaturthi and gearing up for upcoming celebrations like Onam and Diwali. Amid the festive excitement, many individuals may find themselves uncertain about bank holiday schedules. During this period, it is always advisable to plan banking errands in advance, keeping in mind the bank holiday calendar issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
