Monday Closure On Eid-e-Milad
Mumbai's banks will remain closed on September 8, Eid-e-Milad's holiday. The festival was rescheduled from September 5 to avoid conflicting with Anant Chaturdashi, a great Hindu celebration.
Digital banking products such as mobile banking, online banking, ATMs, and UPI will function normally. Customers can use these to make payments and transfer funds even when branches are closed.
Friday Holiday In Jammu And Srinagar
Banks in Jammu and Srinagar will observe September 12 (Friday) as Eid-i-Milad-ul-Nabi holiday. Customers may check branch timings locally. Digital channels are available for necessary transactions.
Second Saturday And Sunday Closures Nationwide
As per Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations, all banks are shut on September 13, which is the second Saturday. Sunday, September 14, is also a national holiday and extends to public as well as private banks. Such scheduled shutdowns give employees regular breaks while allowing customers to plan branch downtime.
Plan Ahead For Smooth Transactions
Customers should:
Make payments for bills, transfers, and deposits before closures.
Make transactions via mobile and internet banking during bank holidays if necessary.
Withdraw money from ATMs before holidays.
Check the official holiday schedule published by RBI on their official website or call up your local branch to clear up any confusion.
