Plan by looking at the list of holidays
Banks will remain closed in the month of October due to holidays and the bank has provided the facility that people can do their work sitting at home through mobile net banking, but in such a situation,
you may face problems while withdrawing cash from the ATM. Therefore, arrange for cash before the holidays. Banks are going to remain closed for about 16 days in October, so do your planning only after looking at the list of holidays.
