Rare Sunday for public- and rural sector-banks: Check if your bank is open or closed today | Mint

On Sunday, September 27, public-sector and regional rural banks opened across India, even though Sunday is normally a weekly holiday. This came after the Reserve Bank of India approved full operations, ahead of a three-day union strike planned from September 28 to 30. Private banks may follow normal holiday hours. If you bank with a private bank, check your branch first.

Key Statutory Highlights

  • Public-sector and regional rural banks opened on Sunday, September 27, after the Reserve Bank of India approved full operations for branches, offices and currency chests.
  • The unusual Sunday opening came before a planned three-day nationwide bank union strike from September 28 to 30.
  • Public-sector banks said customers will not pay extra charges on ATM withdrawals beyond the free monthly limit during the strike period.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you bank with a private bank, check your branch or the bank's official communication to confirm whether it is open today. If you bank with a public-sector bank, you can use today for urgent banking work before the strike begins.
