Several major festivals such as Kartik Purnima and Guru Nanak Jayanti are being celebrated in November 2025, leading to bank holidays on different days across various states in India. Depending on the regional festivals, banks will remain closed on specific dates. Here’s the full list of bank holidays in November, so you can plan your banking activities in advance.
On the first day of November, banks in two Indian states remained closed. Local festivals like Kannada Rajyotsava, Guru Nanak Jayanti, and Kartik Purnima will also cause bank closures in several regions. It’s always advisable to check whether your local bank branch is open before visiting to avoid inconvenience.
However, even on holidays when bank branches are closed, ATMs, mobile banking, and online banking services will continue to function as usual.
According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), banks operate on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays of each month, while they remain closed on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, as well as on Sundays.
