Banks will be closed for a two-day strike on March 15 (Monday) and March 16 (Tuesday), the previous two days being the second Saturday on March 13 and the Sunday on March 14. So, in short, the banks will be closed for four consecutive days.
Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has mentioned some days when banking activities will be closed in March 2021.
