October bank holidays 2022: Banks to remain shut for 10 days in AP and Telangana

New Delhi: The role of banks in financial activities is very important. Currently, online and UPI payments are available, but some transactions must be made in banks. That's why regular bank customers tend to organise their work schedule around holidays.

Customers, who rely on regular bank operations, should be very alert in the month of October. Because the number of October holidays (bank holidays) is a bit high, including Dasara and Diwali festivals and other holidays and bank closings on weekends. Those who want to complete bank transactions smoothly can do their operations if they know about bank holidays in advance.

The RBI has released the list of bank holidays as per the guidelines. The first bank holiday in October starts with Gandhi Jayanti on October 2. After that comes the festivals Durga Puja, Dasra and Diwali, along with a total of five Sundays in October.

Thus, the number of bank holidays in October is 10 in Telugu states. Take a look at the number of holidays in October.
