The second week and the fourth week of Saturdays are declared as Bank Holidays. It is a Central government holiday. All the nationalized banks, and public and private sector banks in Meghalaya remain closed on those two days across the country.

Thus, if banks in other states are open on a certain date in the month of March, it is not necessary that banks in Meghalaya will also remain open on that day. During these bank holidays in Meghalaya, the banks are closed. As per an understanding between the Indian Banks' Association and All India Bank Employees Association, all public sector banks in Meghalaya and other states of India are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month.

In Meghalaya, bank holidays do not mean people will not have access to net banking facilities. Even when banks are closed people can conduct financial transactions via online mode.
