Banks across India, including State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, and Punjab National Bank (PNB), will be closed on May 9 due to it being the second Saturday of the month, as per the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) regulations. This closure affects physical banking activities, so customers are advised to plan their transactions accordingly. The RBI designates every second and fourth Saturday as a bank holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act, along with all Sundays. In May, banks will also be closed on the 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st (Sundays) and the 23rd (fourth Saturday). While physical services will not be available, online banking services such as internet banking and mobile transactions will remain operational, allowing customers to conduct financial activities without interruption. Upcoming regional holidays include May 16 for Sikkim's State Day and May 26 for Kazi Nazrul Islam's birthday in Tripura. Customers are encouraged to utilize digital banking services during these closures.
