New Delhi: On account of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at the Ram Mandir, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced that money markets will remain closed on January 22.

This announcement came after the government of Maharashtra declared January 22, 2024 as a public holiday under Section 25 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.

There will be no transactions and settlements in Government securities (primary and secondary), foreign exchange, money markets and Rupee Interest Rate Derivatives on January 22, RBI said.
