New Delhi: If you have any important banking tasks lined up, this news might be just what you need. Starting from today, 14th September 2024, banks across various parts of India will observe a series of holidays, primarily due to the festive season. Over the next several days, banks are scheduled to remain closed for up to nine days, impacting both public and private banking services.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) publishes a list of holidays at the beginning of each month, detailing the closure dates for banks across different states. These holidays are typically based on local festivals and significant occasions, so not all closures will apply nationwide. However, with multiple festivals in September—such as Barawafat, Milad-un-Nabi, and Eid-e-Milad-ul-Nabi—banks in various regions will be closed at different times.
Bank Holidays to Note:
- 14th September 2024 – Banks will be closed nationwide as it is the second Saturday.
- 15th September 2024 – A Sunday closure applies across the country.
- 16th September 2024 – Barawafat closures in several cities, including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai.
- 17th September 2024 – Milad-un-Nabi closures in Gangtok and Raipur.
- 18th September 2024 – Pang-Lhabsol observed in Gangtok.
- 20th September 2024 – Eid-e-Milad-ul-Nabi closures in Jammu and Srinagar.
- 21st September 2024 – Sree Narayana Guru Samadhi Day will see banks close in Kochi and Trivandrum.
- 22nd September 2024 – A nationwide closure for Sunday.
- 23rd September 2024 – Maharaja Hari Singh’s birthday will close banks in Jammu and Srinagar.
- 28th September 2024 – Another nationwide closure for the fourth Saturday.
- 29th September 2024 – Banks will be closed across India due to Sunday.
As September ushers in long weekends and multiple bank holidays, many important banking services will be unavailable during this period. However, customers can still access key services like cash withdrawals from ATMs, as well as online transactions through UPI, net banking, and mobile banking to manage their accounts during the closures.
