Govt says only second and fourth Saturdays are bank holidays
In short
Business Standard said bank branches are closed only on the second and fourth Saturdays. Other Saturdays are generally working days.
This matters for customers and bank staff planning branch visits and work schedules. The fake Gazette details and the exact government office involved are not stated in the available reporting.
What the reporting says
Business Standard’s summary says bank branches are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays, while other Saturdays are generally working days. The report is framed around the government debunking a fake Gazette, but it does not identify the specific agency or the fake document details. The immediate takeaway is the operating rule for bank branches, while the scope of the fake notice remains unstated.
Why it matters
The reporting clarifies the weekend branch rule: banks are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays, while other Saturdays are usually working days. It also says the government debunked a fake Gazette, but does not provide the document text or the issuing authority. The practical effect is limited to branch operations and customer planning.
