Second Saturday:Fourth Saturday:
In India, the government introduced the concept of "Second and Fourth Saturday" holidays for banks in 2015. As per this policy, all banks in India are closed on the second and fourth Saturday of every month, in addition to the regular bank holidays.
This initiative was implemented to provide more flexibility to bank employees and to encourage work-life balance. It also helps reduce the rush of customers on weekends, as people can carry out their banking transactions on weekdays.
It is important to note that not all institutions and organizations follow this policy. Private companies and government offices may have different schedules for their employees, so it is always advisable to check with your employer regarding their policy on second and fourth Saturdays.
