Bank Holiday Today: Are Banks Closed On September 5? Check Full List Of Bank Holidays In This Month

Are Banks Closed Today: All private and public banks in several states are closed today due to the celebrations of Eid-e-Milad-Un-Nabi and Onam festivities. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) designates specific days as holidays and publishes a list on its website for public access.

A bank holiday is a regular day when financial institutions are closed for business, which means customers may be unable to perform in-person transactions like withdrawing money or depositing checks.

According to the Gregorian calendar, Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi, also known as Bara Wafat, falls on the 12th day of the Islamic month of Rabi-ul-Awwal, which is today, September 5. It is observed by Muslims nationwide, and many offices and government institutions also remain closed. Onam, a 10-day festival celebrated mainly in Kerala, also concludes today, September 5.
