Forgetting a national holiday is no big deal. Most of us work in private companies that do not grant leaves on those days but the problem arises when we make plans to go to the bank for some important work and find out that the bank is shut due to a festival or a ritual that comes under the list of national holidays of the country.

In August barring the weekends, banks in some regions will be shut for almost half of August owing to regional festivals but banks in only those states will be shut but will remain open otherwise. 

Other than Sundays, banks will remain shut on the second and fourth Saturday of the month which is August 14 and August 28.
