Banks in September will remain closed on all Sundays and second and fourth Saturday as there are no public holidays (religious festivals or any other occasion) in this month. However, in some regions, several religious festivals are observed due to which banks in that particular area will not be operational on those days.
Apart from weekly offs, banks in Gangtok, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram will remain closed on September 2 on account of Pang-Lhabsol and Sree Narayana Guru Jayanthi. In Agartala, Bengaluru and Kolkata, banks will not be functioning on the occasion of Mahalaya, which is falling on September 17. Banks in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram will not be operating on September 21 because of Sree Narayana Guru Samadhi Day.
September 6, 13, 20 and 27 are Sundays and September 12 and 26 are second and fourth Saturday. On these days, banks across the country will remain shut. On the other hand, bank employees got so many holidays in August, besides week offs.
