On Monday (7), Brazil's Independence Day is celebrated, a national holiday that impacts services throughout the State of Rio de Janeiro. O EXTRA listed how banks, supermarkets, shopping malls, and other establishments will operate, as well as transportation, to help residents plan ahead.
Bank branches will not be open for in-person customer service and bank transfers will not be processed on this date, including TED (Available Electronic Transfer). Payment slips and utility bills such as water, electricity, and phone, with due dates on the holiday, can be paid on the next business day without additional charges, in locations where there is no municipal holiday.
However, in the case of taxes and duties that are due on days when there is no bank compensation, it is necessary to make the payment in advance to avoid the accrual of interest. The article also mentions that INSS provides information on how to check the result of medical expert evaluations, and that Faetec opened more than 12,000 spots for free technical courses.
