He was also instrumental in laying the foundation of major institutions like Agartala Airport and MBB College. On the occasion of his birth anniversary, a holiday has been observed for bank branches in Agartala.
If banks are closed, what work can we do?
Bank holiday does not mean that all banking services will remain closed. Bank branches remain closed on holidays, but most online banking services remain operational. Customers can transfer money, check account balance and perform many other important banking functions through mobile banking and internet banking.
Apart from this, the facility of withdrawing money from ATM is also generally available. UPI and other digital payment services can also be used. However, if it is necessary to visit the bank branch for any work which cannot be completed online, then it will have to be done after the holiday is over.
Be sure to check your leave before going to the bank.
Holidays in RBI bank holiday list may vary from state to state and city. Therefore, banks in your city may be closed due to some festival or local occasion, while banks in other cities may remain open on the same day.
In such a situation, before going to the bank, definitely check the holidays of your city. Bank branches will remain closed especially in Agartala on August 19, while banks in other parts of the country will operate normally.
