Hyderabad: The festival season is here and it is time to plan your visit to the bank accordingly. A message doing rounds on social media says banks will be closed for 21 days in October which is not correct, bank officials clarified.
“In Telangana, there are ten closed holidays for banks in October. These include five Sundays, the second and fourth Saturdays, and two major festivals besides Gandhi Jayanti on October 2. Transactions will continue to take place online and through mobile platforms,” said an SBI Official, dismissing the message being circulated in social media as false. There may be some minor festivals that are specific to select States, he said.
