Notably, while the holiday was originally listed on September 16, the date was shifted after Muslim community leaders met and decided to avoid a clash with the Anant Chaturdashi or Ganesh Visarjan celebrations during the week.

Online services, however, would be functional. All banks operate their online websites and mobile banking services apps regardless of weekend or other leaves — unless notified to users for particular reasons. Customers can also access any bank's ATMs for cash withdrawals, despite the holidays.
