IN India, many government offices and banks have adopted a system of being closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. This policy is known as the "Fortnightly Holiday Scheme."
The idea behind this policy is to give employees a regular break and to reduce congestion in government offices and banks. By closing on Saturdays, people can complete their work during weekdays without having to take a day off or stand in long lines during the weekend.
It is important to note that private companies are not required to follow this policy, and their schedule may vary. Additionally, some government departments and banks may have different schedules or exceptions to this policy. It's always a good idea to check the specific schedule of the office or bank you plan to visit to avoid any inconvenience.
