Bank Holidays: All public and private banks in India, including the State Bank of India (SBI), will be closed on September 18 in observance of Eid-e-Milad. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Maharashtra government have moved the Eid-e-Milad holiday to September 18.
Originally scheduled for September 16, the date was shifted after discussions among Muslim community leaders to prevent it from coinciding with Anant Chaturdashi or Ganesh Visarjan celebrations.
For urgent cash needs, online banking services and mobile banking apps will remain operational, barring any specific notifications. Additionally, ATMs will be accessible for cash withdrawals.
