Bank holidays in Sept 2025: Complete list of holidays, detail inside

Bank Holiday: As per the RBI, banks will stay shut on second and fourth Saturdays of the month, and Sundays, when in-branch services won't be available but customers can carry out digital transactions

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sets bank holidays in India in accordance with the Negotiable Instruments Act, RTGS holidays, and a number of regional and national celebrations. Customers should check the holiday calendar and schedule their visits appropriately because bank offices in Indian cities may close on these days, interfering with consumer transactions and services.

Along with important festivals like Onam, Milad un-Nabi, Durga Puja, and others, these holidays will also contain the required weekly days off on the second and fourth Saturdays and Sundays.

What transactions can you do when banks are shut?

There are a number of alternative ways to make transactions possible even in cases where banks are closed because of local or religious holidays. Unless consumers are informed for technical or other reasons, they can always continue to utilize online or mobile banking services, including on national holidays. 

 

ATMs are available for withdrawals as normal in case of financial emergencies. To transfer or receive money, people can also use UPI and the app for their particular bank. In accordance with the terms of the Negotiable Instruments Act, which addresses the issue of checks and promissory notes, the RBI announces all of the bank's yearly holidays. 

 

Therefore, during the specified holidays, transactions involving these instruments are not possible. Digital banking guarantees that your transactions stay seamless, even though bank holidays may momentarily disrupt branch operations.
