Because this time Diwali is being considered for two days. Many people are celebrating Diwali on 31 October (Thursday), while many people are celebrating Diwali on 1 November 2024 (Friday).
While there is confusion about Diwali on the one hand, people are also getting confused about bank holidays. They are not able to understand on which day there will be a bank holiday on the occasion of Diwali. If you are also thinking of going to the bank for some work this festive week, then you should check the bank holiday list once.
When is Diwali
