Overview

  • The Reserve Bank of India’s schedule shows 15 bank‑closure days in September, counting the second and fourth Saturdays and all Sundays.
  • Festival closures include Karma Puja on September 3 (Jharkhand), First Onam on September 4 (Kerala), Id‑e‑Milad and related observances on September 5–6 (multiple states), and Durga Puja on September 29–30 (several eastern and northeastern states).
  • Branch‑only services such as cheque clearing governed by the Negotiable Instruments Act will pause on these holidays, but ATMs, UPI, mobile banking and internet banking will continue to operate.
  • Closures are not uniform nationwide and depend on local customs, with outlets urging customers to consult the RBI’s state‑wise list or contact their branch before visiting.
  • For Thursday, August 28, banks are closed only in Goa and Odisha for Nuakhai and the second day of Ganesh Chaturthi, illustrating the regional application of the calendar.
