Contrary to rumours on social media, banks will remain open through the first week of September, and functioning of ATMs will not be hampered, an official statement from the government said. Messages circulated over WhatsApp claimed that banks would be closed from September 2 to 5, and then from September 8 to 9 due to holidays and bank strikes. September 3, the day of Janmashtami, is not a holiday for banks across India. Banks in some states will remain shut under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, the official statement said.
