All public sector banks and regional rural banks across India will stay open today to cater to retailers’ banking needs, officials said.
The banking sector has issued a directive for every public sector bank and regional rural bank to remain operational today, specifically to accommodate the cash and transaction requirements of retail traders.
Retailers, who often face cash shortages during peak sales periods, will be able to access banking services without interruption, officials said. The move aims to smooth the flow of credit and liquidity for small and medium enterprises that rely heavily on daily banking.
Banking authorities emphasized that the decision is a one‑day measure intended to address immediate market demand and will be reviewed based on feedback from the trade community.
