Many states will see bank closures on March 8 for Mahashivratri, celebrated nationwide on Friday. The holiday’s observance depends on both state governments and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)’s listings. According to the central bank’s holiday schedule, banks across states will be closed for 14 days in March, with several states experiencing two instances of three consecutive bank holidays. Consequently, two extended holiday weekends will occur.
These holidays will include all Sundays, second and fourth Saturdays, public holidays, and a few regional holidays in specific states.
