Banks in India will observe many holidays in the month of September. According to the RBI listing, there are a total of 14 holidays, including weekends. Although not all these holidays are nationwide, a few holidays are just because of a local festival that is celebrated in a particular part of the country. These holidays are only for certain states or cities and are regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar.
All bank customers and students who are planning to visit the bank this month for their important work should check the local RBI calendar before reaching the bank doors. The bank branches may be closed, but banks will typically offer UPI, ATMs, mobile banking and internet banking services.
