For
public convenience, banks will remain open on coming
Saturday and Sunday, Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das tweeted.
As
per the normal schedule, the coming Saturday being the second would have been a
holiday, but keeping in view the expected rush at the branches, it was decided
otherwise.
There
are about 149 scheduled commercial banks, including 56 regional rural banks,
with branch network of about 1.30 lakh across the country. Besides, the
co-operative banks have also been asked to take deposit and exchange
the old with the new one.
It
is, however, not clear whether post offices would be open or not on
the weekend. There are about 1.25 lakh post offices across the country.
