Mumbai: Before going to a bank, it’s important to check the holiday list. Especially during the festive season, many holidays fall one after another. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issues a list of bank holidays in advance, covering different states and cities.
Bank Holiday on September 8
On Monday, September 8, banks across the country will remain open except in Mumbai. The RBI had earlier marked September 5 as a bank holiday in Mumbai on the occasion of Eid-e-Milad. However, the Maharashtra government decided not to observe the holiday on September 5 and instead shifted it to September 8. The official notification was issued on Wednesday by the state’s General Administration Department.
