Full Preparations on for the 2nd and 4th Saturday Banking Holiday


          The customer facing timings in the Indian Banking Industry are for a major change. Adjustments to the new timings have to happen both from Banking Staff and Banking Customers end.

          All Banks in India whether such banks are included in the Second Schedule to the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 (2 of 1934) will be closed on the Second and Fourth Saturday of every month.

          The effective date of this move is 1st September 2015. The other Saturdays will be full working days.

The key changes envisaged as of now are: -

01)  Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) will be closed on 2nd and 4th Saturdays.
02) NEFT transactions will not take place on 2nd and 4th Saturdays.
03) NEFT will have the complete 11 Batches on remaining Saturdays.
04) Cheque Truncation System (CTS) clearing will be closed on 2nd and 4th Saturdays.
05) Locker Operations cannot be executed on 2nd and 4th Saturdays.
06) Cash Deposits and Cash Withdrawals through Bank tellers will not happen on 2nd and 4th Saturdays.
07) There will be pressure on ATMs for cash withdrawals.
08) In the initial couple of months, there will be a surge of customers on Monday’s, when banks open after continuous holidays.
09) There will be pressure on Phone Banking Team to resolve queries, which in the ordinary course, would have been resolved in physical branches.
10)  Banking staff will find time to engage in hobbies.
11)  The spending habits of banking staff will undergo change, as with additional holidays in hand, visits to cinema halls, malls etc will increase.

By now, all bank branches in India have put appropriate notices in the Display Boards. In the coming days, there would be full fledged awareness programs in all kinds of media. SMSs will start to flow in. Industry level advertisements are not yet planned.
