The Rajasthani government has requested that all banks operating in seven important districts close to the international border stay open on public holidays this week due to an emergency situation. The goal of the directive is to guarantee that residents of these delicate locations will always have access to banking services.
The Additional Chief Secretary of the Finance Department, Akhil Arora, wrote to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) requesting that, despite the fact that May 10 and May 11, 2025, are public holidays, all bank branches in Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bikaner, Shri Ganganagar, Phalodi, Hanumangarh, and Jodhpur continue to operate.
The decision was made due to an “emergent situation” at the International Border of India, which requires constant access to essential banking services, especially in border districts. These services include transactions, withdrawals, fund transfers, and access to financial aid or emergency funds.
The letter emphasizes that it is important for banks to function normally during these days so that people living in these regions do not face inconvenience. This is especially important for those dependent on regular banking services for their daily needs and for any emergency-related financial transactions.
