Banks in most parts of India will remain open, on Saturday, May 3, according to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) holiday calendar. It is the first Saturday of the month, and hence the banks will remain operational.
But customers should be aware of the regional holidays in May. This is because banks in various states will remain closed for several regional, national, and religious holidays.
In addition to all Sundays, banks in India usually remain closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month.
