Bank holidays in May: Branches will be non-functional on account of festivals, as well as second and fourth Saturdays, and Sundays. 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. In case of regional festivals, banks only in that particular region will remain closed (Pradeep Gaur/Mint.
