September 2025 Bank Holidays: Nearly 15 Days Off, Check City-Wise Dates

Bank Holidays in September 2025: The year 2025 comes with an extended list of bank holidays in India , including closures for national festivals, regional events and weekend breaks. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released the official holiday calendar for the month, which highlights up to 15 non-working days for banks. While banking halls will remain shut on these dates, customers can still access online services like mobile banking, net banking, ATMs, and UPI.

Why Bank Holidays in September 2025 Matter

Bank holidays are not uniform across the country; they vary depending on local festivals and regional customs. Alongside state-specific holidays, banks across India remain closed on the second and fourth Saturdays as well as Sundays, as per RBI guidelines. This makes September a month with several consecutive closures in different regions, making it important for people to plan their financial tasks in advance.
