Bank Holiday: Will banks in Delhi remain closed on September 11? Know the full facts regarding the BRICS Summit and the strike..

The BRICS Summit is scheduled to take place in the national capital, New Delhi, on September 12 and 13. This has led to confusion among people regarding whether banks in Delhi will remain open or closed during this period. If you are planning to visit a bank on September 11, this information is crucial for you.

**Will banks remain open in Delhi?**
The BRICS summit is being organized in Delhi on September 12–13. However, there is good news for Delhi residents: banks in the capital will remain open on September 11, 2026. According to the holiday list issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), there is no bank holiday on this day.

Although traffic diversions and various restrictions have been implemented in Delhi due to the BRICS summit, and the government has ordered private and public sector companies to observe a holiday, the RBI has clearly stated that banks will not close; operations will continue as usual.

**Will there be a bank strike on September 11?**

It is worth noting that while the RBI has not declared a holiday for this day, a bank strike has been announced. The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) has called for a nationwide strike to press for their demands. Key demands include a five-day work week and a review of performance incentives. Consequently, many public sector banks may remain closed due to the strike, though private sector banks are unlikely to be affected.

**What should bank customers do?**

If you have banking work in Delhi on September 11, there is no need to worry about banks being closed. Banks will be open, though you might face issues such as traffic jams caused by the BRICS summit or staff shortages due to the strike. There is also a possibility that some banks might remain closed because of the strike. In such a case, either wrap up your work beforehand or wait until next week.
