Bank holidays in November 2026 will vary across states, depending on regional festivals and occasions. Customers should check the state-wise holiday schedule before visiting a bank branch, as a holiday in one state does not necessarily mean that banks will be closed across the country.
As per the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) holiday calendar, banks are set to remain closed on November 9, 10, 11, 13, 16, 20, 23, 24 and 27 in specific locations, as listed in the holiday calendar.
In India, all scheduled and non-scheduled banks observe public holidays on the second and fourth Saturdays. The first, third and fifth (in some cases) remain a working Saturday for banks unless specified in the RBI holiday calendar.
