Bank Holiday in Mumbai Today
All the government and private banks in Mumbai remain shut today, September 8, due to Eid-e-Milad. The holiday was previously scheduled for September 5 but was changed to September 8 so it does not overlap with Ganesh Chaturthi processions. So, today is a full bank holiday in the city.
