Banks will remain open on coming Saturday and Sunday to deal with the rush of people expected to queue up at branches to exchange their old currency notes of 500 and 1,000 rupees which are now invalid.
Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das in a tweet said that banks will remain open during both days for public convenience. RBI in a statement also said, all scheduled and non-scheduled banks including public and private will remain open for public on Saturday and Sunday.
Banks are advised to keep all their branches open on 12th and 13th of November as regular working days for transacting all business.
