However, if you count on the weekends, then it started from September 5, the first Sunday of the month. Initially, there were initially seven bank holidays and they started off on September 8.

RBI has categorised the leaves for this month under the bracket of ‘Holiday under Negotiable Instruments Act’, ‘Holiday under Negotiable Instruments Act and Real Time Gross Settlement Holiday’ and ‘Banks’ Closing of Accounts.’
