Bank branches in India remain closed on September 26, described as the fourth Saturday holiday. The report notes that major private banks such as SBI, HDFC Bank and ICICI are part of the branches that observe the closure for the day.
The coverage places the holiday in a wider timeline of banking disruptions. It states that public sector banks (PSBs) and regional rural banks (RRBs) are scheduled to operate on September 27, the day after the holiday. Several outlets also reference a proposed nationwide bank strike set for September 28 to 30, suggesting that services may be affected during that period.
Across the sources provided here, the main points are consistent: a bank holiday applies on September 26 for the fourth Saturday, a normal operating day is expected on September 27 for PSBs and RRBs, and a strike window is scheduled to follow from September 28 through September 30. Any differences are not evident in the excerpts shared, which largely reiterate the same dates and expectations for branch operations.
