Moreover, October 2024, will have a number of other occasions, including Gandhi Jayanti, which is one of the three national holidays and is observed on October 2 every year. Banks anyways remain closed on all Sundays and the second and fourth Saturdays of a month. Hence, this time, October will bring along a total of 15 bank holidays.
Since many of the holidays will be regional holidays, it is important for people to know which occasion will result in a holiday in their respective states, union territories (UTs), or even regions. For instance, the Jammu region in Jammu and Kashmir will witness a bank holiday on October 1, 2024 on account of voting for the third and last phase of the ongoing Jammu and Kashmir Assembly election.
