Banks will remain closed on Friday in Jammu and Kashmir to mark the first Friday after Eid-i-Milad-ul-Nabi, according to the Reserve Bank of India's region-wise holiday calendar. However, the banks in the rest of the country will remain open on this day.
The development comes as Friday after Eid-e-Milad-ul-Nabi is observed as a holiday throughout Jammu and Kashmir. All must be knowing that Eid-e-Milad-ul-Nabi marks the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, which is celebrated on the 12th day of Rabi' al-Awwal, the third month of the Muslim calendar. The first Friday prayers after Eid-e-Milad-ul-Nabi are particularly significant in Jammu and Kashmir.
