Bank Holidays in India, September 2024: India observes plenty of bank holidays throughout the year. These holidays comprise national holidays, state-specific festivals, and significant observances. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has the authority to determine all bank holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act, Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) holidays, and bank account closure restrictions that are applicable all over India for both public and private banks. It recently released the bank holidays for September 2024 and will observe a total of 12 non-working days, including regional and state-specific holidays declared by the different state governments, as well as statutory closures on the second and fourth Saturdays and Sundays of each month. Banks halt operations on these specified holidays, and no physical financial services are provided. However, contemporary digital banking technologies have made it easier to manage financial activities even during the holidays. So, while branch services may be reduced, one can still receive important financial services via digital channels such as: Online banking platforms Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) Mobile banking applications Bank websites A full list of bank holidays in September 2024: Date Holiday States and Union Territory 5th Sept 2024, Thursday Tithi of Srimanta Shankardev and Hartalika Teej Assam, Chhattisgarh, Sikkim 7th Sept 2024, Saturday Ganesh Chaturthi Throughout the country 8th Sept 2024, Sunday Nuakhai Odisha 13th Sep 2024, Friday Teja Dashmi Rajasthan 14th Sep 2024, Saturday Second Saturday and Onam Throughout the country 15th Sep 2024, Sunday Thiruvonam Kerala 16th Sep 2024, Monday Eid e Milad Throughout the country 17th Sep 2024, Tuesday Indra Jatra Sikkim 18th Sep 2024, Wednesday Sree Narayana Guru Samadhi Kerala 21st Sept 2024, Saturday Shree Narayana Guru Samadhi Kerala 23rd Sep 2024, Monday Heroes’ Martyrdom Day Haryana 28th Sep 2024, Saturday Fourth Saturday Throughout the country
