Bank Holiday Schedule: Check Out RBI Holiday Status From August 31 to September 6
Between August 31 and September 6, banks will operate normally for most of the week, closing only on Friday, September 4, for Janmashtami in select cities and on Sunday, September 6, for the standard weekly off. Digital banking services, mobile applications, and ATMs will remain functional across the week regardless of physical branch holidays.
As the transition from August to September brings a fresh set of calendar schedules, bank customers across India should prepare for routine weekend closures alongside regional festival holidays. Under the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, banks observe weekly offs on Sundays and selected Saturdays, complemented by state-specific holidays governed by the Negotiable Instruments Act.
The upcoming week spans from Monday, August 31, to Sunday, September 6. While no major nationwide public bank holiday falls during the opening days of this week, regional observances such as Sri Krishna Jayanthi (Janmashtami) will close operations in select cities toward the end of the week.
