Additionally, certain cities will experience bank closures due to the ongoing General Elections 2024, particularly during the second phase of voting. Locations such as Bangalore, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, and Jammu will have banks closed on specific election days. This aligns with the Reserve Bank of India's holiday schedule, which adapts to accommodate each state's and city's election process.

During this phase of the general elections, 89 constituencies across 13 states and Union Territories will cast their votes. States like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Manipur, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Jammu and Kashmir, along with Karnataka, will be among those participating.

As the electoral process progresses, the banking sector, like other essential services, will adjust its operations to adhere to the designated holidays while ensuring continuity in essential banking functions.
