Banks across various Indian states and union territories will observe holidays on August 25, 26, and 28, coinciding with festivals such as Onam and Eid-e-Milad (Milad-un-Nabi), which marks the birth of Prophet Muhammad. While physical branches will be closed, digital banking services like online transfers, UPI, and ATMs will generally remain operational. The exact holidays vary by location, and customers are advised to check the Reserve Bank of India's calendar or local notifications before planning visits.
