According to the RBI\u2019s holiday calendar for September 2025, no official holiday has been marked for today on Vishwakarma. Simply means that banks across India are open as usual and banking activities are functioning without any hurdle.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Vishwakarma, often revered as the divine architect in Hindu mythology, is celebrated as the god of creation, craftsmanship, and innovation. Artisans, craftsmen, engineers, and workers across India worship him for skill, precision, and creativity, especially on Vishwakarma Jayanti, when tools, machines, and workplaces are blessed to seek prosperity and safety.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The Central bank has released the official schedule, which includes state-specific observances, religious festivals, and special local holidays. Additionally, all scheduled and non-scheduled banks will remain closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Banks To Close In Meghalaya On September 18<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Banks are set to be closed tomorrow in Meghalaya over Unitarian Awareness Day.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Unitarian Awareness Day, observed on 18 September mainly in Meghalaya, marks the foundation of the Khasi Unitarian movement started by Hajom Kissor Singh in 1887, when the first service was held in Jowai. Recognized as a state holiday, the day celebrates the unique blend of Unitarian principles with Khasi cultural traditions, emphasizing the unity of God, freedom of conscience, equality, and rational faith.<\/p>\n<h3>Upcoming Bank Holiday 2025<\/h3>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">September 22 (Monday) \u2013 Navratra Sthapna<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Holiday in Jaipur<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">September 23 (Tuesday) \u2013 Birthday of Maharaja Hari Singh Ji<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Holiday in Jaipur<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">September 29 (Monday) \u2013 Maha Saptami \/ Durga Puja<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">Holiday in Agartala, Guwahati, Jaipur, Kolkata<\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">September 30 (Tuesday) \u2013 Maha Ashtami \/ Durga Ashtami \/ Durga Puja<\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\">Holiday in Agartala, Bhubaneswar, Guwahati, Imphal, Patna, Ranchi, Kolkata<\/p>\n<p id=\"15\" class=\"story_para_15\">All scheduled and non-scheduled banks will also be closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of September 2025.<\/p>\n<h3>National Holidays (All Banks Closed Across India) In September<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>September 07 (Sunday)<\/li>\n<li>September 13 (2nd Saturday)<\/li>\n<li>September 14 (Sunday)<\/li>\n<li>September 21 (Sunday)<\/li>\n<li>September 27 (4th Saturday)<\/li>\n<li>September 28 (Sunday)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"18\" class=\"story_para_18\">During bank holidays, customers can continue to access services through net banking, mobile banking, UPI, and ATMs. While these digital platforms remain operational for transactions, cheque clearing and other physical banking activities governed by the Negotiable Instruments Act will not be processed on these days.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Varun Yadav\" title=\"Varun Yadav\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-11-at-14.38.33-2025-02-47cdd4fd31681cc3efe5087cb8bd1418.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/varun-yadav-28203.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Varun Yadav<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Varun Yadav is a Sub Editor at News18 Business Digital.
