Indian banks, both public and commercial, will remain close for many holidays in September 2024, including Eid-e-Milad, Ganesh Visarjan, and regional celebrations. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), banks will be closed on September 18 to celebrate Eid-e-Milad. Originally slated for September 16, the Maharashtra government and community leaders moved the date to prevent a clash with Anant Chaturdashi, the day of Ganesh Visarjan.
If you require banking services during these closures, digital options such as internet banking, smartphone apps, and ATMs will continue to operate, unless otherwise stated. To avoid disruptions, it is advised that all in-branch events be planned ahead of time.
