Are you planning to visit your nearest bank branch today and withdraw some cash from there? So, before you step out, you should know, today, 15 September 2026, is a bank holiday in some parts of the country. Although this holiday is not across the country, only a few parts. These are local holidays due to the festivities of the area.
