All banks to remain closed on September 27 as well
Since September 27 falls on a Sunday, banks will remain closed on that day following September 26. This means there will be no regular banking operations across branches nationwide for two consecutive days—September 26 and 27.
Impact of the strike in Bihar from September 28 to 30
Bank customers in Bihar may face additional inconvenience towards the end of September. Banking operations in several parts of the state, including Patna and Muzaffarpur, could be affected due to the three-day strike proposed by the United Forum of Bank Unions from September 28 to 30.
Check holiday dates before visiting the bank.
Bank holidays are not uniform across the country; they vary by state and city depending on festivals and local events. Therefore, it is advisable to check the holiday status for your city before visiting a bank branch. Services such as digital banking, UPI, and mobile banking may remain available during holidays, though this depends on the specific bank's service availability.
