check RBI List and State-Wise Closures News24 –
As September draws closer to its end, several bank holidays are lined up for the last week of the month. Customers across different states should be aware of these holidays to avoid inconvenience and plan their activities accordingly.
Since these bank holidays will impact banking operations, it is imperative that readers plan their cash deposits, cheque clearances, and other branch-related work in advance. The list includes both region-specific bank holidays as well as RBI-mandated holidays for the calendar year 2025.
Bank Holidays from September 22 to September 28
The week will commence with a series of bank holidays on Monday, September 22. In Rajasthan, particularly in Jaipur, banks will remain closed for Navratra Sthapana, a ceremony that marks the beginning of the Navratra period. On the same day, residents of Telangana will celebrate the first day of Bathukamma, a popular floral festival observed across the state.
On Tuesday, September 23, there are two more state-level holidays. In Jammu and Srinagar, banks will be closed to commemorate the birth anniversary of Maharaja Hari Singh Ji, the last Dogra ruler of Jammu and Kashmir. Meanwhile, in Haryana, banks will remain shut on the occasion of Heroes’ Martyrdom Day, observed in memory of local heroes.
Later in the week, there will be nationwide bank closures as per the RBI mandate. On Saturday, September 27, all banks across India will remain closed as it is the fourth Saturday of the month—a compulsory day off for banks. This will be followed by a regular Sunday holiday on September 28, during which banks across the country will also remain closed.
What should you do if you need to run bank errands during these holidays?
To ensure your activities aren’t disrupted, plan your work to avoid these dates. However, automated teller machines (ATMs) that allow cheque deposits and cash withdrawals will remain operational, enabling you to carry out many basic banking functions.
Additionally, linking your bank account with UPI allows you to transact or transfer money with ease 24/7. Therefore, these bank holidays are unlikely to impact most individuals, unless your activities depend on services like cheque clearances, loan processing, or other in-branch approvals. In such cases, slight delays may occur.
The RBI holiday list is followed by most banks, although certain state governments may declare additional holidays for regional festivals or special events.
