Most bank customers may come across only a few occasions in their life when they may find a bank open on Sunday. They will find public sector and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) opened today (Sunday, September 27, 2026) as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had asked them to operate ahead of the proposed three-day bank strike from September 28 to September 30, 2026.
The RBI had approved the opening of bank branches, offices, ATM-linked branches and currency chests on September 27. The arrangement is intended to give customers an additional day to complete essential banking work before the strike.
Are all banks open on Sunday, September 27?
Public sector banks and Regional Rural Banks will stay open on Sunday as per the RBI’s instructions. Since private banks are not participating in the strike, they are most likely to stay closed today.
However, private bank customers need to check with their bank branch or wait for its update to know about today's holiday status.
