State Bank of India (SBI) Holiday List 2016
State Bank of India is the largest nationalized bank in India. It is of course “The banker to Every Indian”. A bank account can be opened for as less as Rs. 1000 (General Branch) to Rs. 1 crore for the Kohinoor Branch. A student can open the bank account for as less as Rs. 500.
A foreigner client once asked an IT employee “Is there a Bank Holiday in India in the coming month” The employee quickly searched the internet for SBI Holiday list. This was a wrong search. When a foreigner says a bank holiday, he means a general Holiday to be declared in a company. However in India, a bank holiday means a holiday in the bank in the literal sense.
Anyways, let me talk about the Holiday of State Bank of India (SBI). It gives a decent number of Holidays. Note that the holiday varies by region by region. SBI normally declares different holiday list based on the circles/zones. So the Holiday list of Gujarat region would be different that of Bihar or West Bengal. In the Gujarat region, there would be long Holidays during the Navratri festival. There would be Holiday during Chhath Puja in the Bihar region.
Many of the employees of State Bank of India (SBI) covers LFC (Leave Fare Concession). They align their trip to the holiday of SBI. Note that SBI has Holiday Homes in most of the common tourist places on India. These can be booked prior to starting the travel.
See the information below for the Holiday List of SBI. We have consolidated it Region wise. For any clarification, leave a comment…
