The Ministry of Finance has directed that all Public Sector Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) across India will remain open on Sunday, September 27, 2026. The decision has been taken to facilitate banking operations and ensure continuity of services for customers. The announcement covers all public-sector RRBs across the country.

The special working day is particularly relevant for customers and businesses that depend on RRBs for rural credit, deposits, government-related banking services and other financial transactions. Keeping branches operational on September 27 will help maintain access to banking services despite the day falling on a Sunday. RRBs play an important role in extending formal banking and credit services to rural and semi-urban areas, making uninterrupted branch operations significant for customers who may have limited access to alternative banking channels.

For RRBs, the directive will require appropriate staffing, branch operations and cash-management arrangements to ensure normal service delivery on the additional working day. Customers using RRB branches should therefore expect operations to be available on September 27, subject to the normal services offered by their respective banks.
