Govt, Private Banks Will Remain Closed For 12 Days In September: Full List Of Bank Holiday In September, 2021

Banks will be closed for up to 12 days in September due to festivals (as per RBI calendar), second and fourth Saturdays, and weekly offs (Sunday). Though not all banks may be closed for a certain festival except those in the states where the event is held.

Bank Holidays

These holidays are divided into three categories:

State-specific holidays
Religious events
Festival celebrations.

Aside from the seven days off, there are six-weekend leaves in all. However, because one of the holidays overlaps with the second Saturday, the total number of days off is just 12.

Holiday Under Negotiable Instruments Act

The RBI categorises the September vacations as a “Holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act.”

‘Holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act and Real-Time Gross Settlement Holiday’, as well as ‘Banks’ Closing of Accounts,’ are the other classifications for the RBI listing.

Though not all banks may be closed for a certain festival except those in the states where the event is held. The official RBI bank holiday list starts only from September 8.

The overall list of bank holidays, however, begins on September 5, which is the first Sunday of the month. The RBI list will see the holidays for banks in September, end on September 21.
