Banks holiday for 2 days: Are banks closed on September 4, 2025 and September 5, 2025 in this state for Onam celebration?

Banks across Kerala will remain closed for two consecutive days on September 4, 2025 and 5, 2025, for Onam, one of the state’s most important and widely-celebrated festivals. Since Onam is a major regional holiday, banking services in Kerala will not be available on these days.

In India, bank holidays are declared for national events such as Independence Day, Republic Day, and Gandhi Jayanti and also for regional festivals, which vary from state to state.

Customers are advised to plan their bank work well in advance, particularly those that require visiting a physical branch. However, online and mobile banking services will continue to be available during the holiday period.

Most routine transactions can be handled digitally through mobile banking apps, internet banking, ATMs, and UPI platforms. Customers can check account balances, transfer funds via NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, or UPI, pay bills and EMIs, open or close fixed and recurring deposits, block lost debit or credit cards, request cheque books or statements, and even open new savings accounts through digital KYC.
