September is set to bring a mix of festivals and regional holidays for bank customers, with branches in different parts of the country scheduled to remain closed across several days during the month. According to the Reserve Bank of India’s holiday calendar, bank holidays vary across cities and states, so a closure in one part of the country may not apply nationwide.Customers should check their specific branch’s holiday schedule before planning a visit, particularly if they need services that can only be completed at a physical branch. Apart from regional holidays, banks also remain closed on regular Sundays and the second and fourth Saturdays.

Can you still use banking services?
A bank holiday affects physical branch operations but does not mean that all banking services stop. Customers can continue using ATMs, UPI, internet banking and mobile banking for most routine transactions, subject to scheduled maintenance.However, services requiring a physical branch visit, such as document submission, verification or certain account-related requests, will not be available at closed branches.
