Bank holidays this week, September 15-21, 2025: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI ) has declared only one bank holiday in the upcoming week of September 2025 due to a regional observance. Banks across Indian cities/states remain closed during the RBI mandated holidays.
RBI also mandates that the second and fourth Saturdays of each month are holidays for banks, whereas Sundays are a pan-India holiday for all public and private banks.
People who are planning any important activities related to banking transactions or other such services must refer to the list of bank holidays this week so that you can plan accordingly and avoid any last-minute inconvenience.
You should note that holidays may differ in various states due to regional and local observances. It is thus advised to check with your local bank branch for their holiday schedule or list ahead of time to be properly informed and make preparations in case of emergencies.

What transactions can you do when banks are closed?
A person can continue to use online or mobile banking services even during national holidays — unless notified to users for technical or other reasons. For cash emergencies, ATMs are open for withdrawals as usual. People can also use their respective bank’s app and UPI to facilitate payments.
All of the bank’s annual holiday calendar is declared by the RBI under provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act, which deals with the issuance of cheques and promissory notes. Transactions involving these instruments are thus not available during these listed holidays.
