Bank Holidays in February: The first month of the new year (2023) i.e. January is about to end in the next few days. After a few days, the second month of this year i.e. February will begin. Banks are going to remain closed for many days in February as well.
Therefore, if you are postponing any important work related to the bank for the next month, then do take a look at the holidays falling in February so that you do not have to face any kind of inconvenience later.
We have brought you the complete list of how many banks will be closed in February 2023. Before knowing these, let us tell you that under the Negotiable Instruments Act 1881, State Governments, Central Government and Union Territories make a list of bank holidays. In India, there is a national holiday and a government holiday on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. That’s why the bank remains closed on those days.
