September Bank Holidays 2026: Check full list of dates & closures

Bank branches across India will observe multiple closures throughout September 2026, with the holiday schedule varying from state to state based on regional festivals, local observances, and government notifications. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issues the official calendar, and with scheduled holidays this month, including second and fourth Saturdays and all Sundays, customers are advised to plan branch visits, cheque submissions, and cash requirements well in advance. Digital banking services including UPI, net banking, and mobile apps, along with ATM access, will remain unaffected on all holidays.

Note: Please authenticate the dates with the holiday list issued by Reserve Bank of India.

Customers in states such as Rajasthan and Kerala should note additional closures this month due to state-specific observances on September 21 and 26 respectively. Those in Sikkim and Haryana will also see regional closures for Indra Jatra and Heroes’ Martyrdom Day. It is worth remembering that September 26 falls on the fourth Saturday, which is already a designated bank holiday under RBI rules, making it a closure nationwide regardless of the regional festivals coinciding that day. For time-sensitive transactions, using NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, or UPI is recommended to avoid delays, these services operate round the clock, including on all gazetted holidays.
