With September 2025 fast approaching, all of us have already started making festival celebrations and travel plans. For those who have banking work to be done, whether it is cash withdrawal, visiting the branch for formalities, or taking care of loan procedures, it is necessary to keep an eye on bank holidays beforehand.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released its holiday schedule for September 2025, with a combination of a list of national festivals, state-level functions, and standard weekend offs.
It's interesting to observe that while banks across India will still remain shut on festival holidays and Sundays, online and mobile banking services will run smoothly.
Below is a list of dates when banks in September will be off
September 5 (Monday): Id-e-Milad (Milad-un-Nabi)– Bank holiday in Kerala, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra states.
September 7 (Sunday): Weekly holiday, Indra Jatra will be observed in Sikkim.
September 8 (Monday): The banks will remain closed in Mumbai to observe Id-E-Milad.
September 12 (Friday): The banks in Jammu and Srinagar will remain closed on the occasion of Eid-i- Milad-ul—Nabi.

September 30 (Tuesday): The banks will remain closed in Agartala, Bhubaneswar, Ghuwati, Imphal, Jaipur, Patna and Ranchi.
Since most of such festivals fall on Saturdays and Sundays, some states can have two or three consecutive days when banks are closed. Customers are therefore advised to arrange in advance for activities like cheque clearance, branch visits, or important financial formalities.
