From Navratri to Durga Puja, check state-wise bank holidays
What's the story
Today, all public and private sector banks in Jaipur, Rajasthan will remain closed due to Navratra Sthapna. The day marks the beginning of the Hindu festival of Navratri. Although not a national holiday, it is celebrated locally in Jaipur. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issues a monthly holiday list to avoid confusion over bank closures across different states due to regional festivals and traditions. Here's the list of upcoming state-wise bank closures.
Future closures

In addition to Navratra Sthapna, banks will also remain closed for other regional festivals in September 2025. In Jammu and Srinagar, banks will remain closed on September 23 to celebrate the birthday of Maharaja Hari Singh Ji. On September 29, banks will remain closed in Tripura, Assam, and West Bengal for Maha Saptami/Durga Puja.
