branches the business can be transacted for 5½ hours on weekdays and 4 hours on
Saturdays. Branches of the Bank transact business with the public in the usual
course for 4 hours from Monday to Friday and for 2 hours on Saturday. However
the customers who entered the banking hall before the close of business hours
will also be attended. At totally computerised branches the business hours are
extended by an hour on weekdays. At select branches, for enhanced public
convenience 7 day banking / Sunday Banking is practised.

holidays as declared by the Government under Negotiable Instruments Act during
which there will not be any transactions. The list of such holidays will be
displayed in the notice board of the branches. To serve as a quick reminder a
board displaying "Tomorrow is a Holiday" in the local language is displayed
prominently on the working day immediately preceding such holiday. However
transactions through ATM, Telebanking, Internet Banking can be effected on all
days inclusive of Sundays or other holidays thus assuring the service
availability for all 24 hours of all days through CBS network.

the notice of the branch head or to the Appellate Authority seeking remedy.
