Banks across several states will remain closed on multiple days between November 3 and November 9, 2025, owing to festivals, elections, and local celebrations. According to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) official state-wise holiday calendar for the financial year 2025–26, banks will observe four holidays in select regions during the upcoming week.

In India, bank holidays differ from one state to another depending on regional customs, religious events, and local government notifications. Apart from these specific dates, all banks remain closed on Sundays and on the second and fourth Saturdays every month.

Here’s a detailed look at the RBI-declared bank holidays from November 3 to November 9, 2025, to help customers plan their financial activities in advance.

What Services Are Available During Bank Holidays
Even when physical bank branches are closed, customers can still carry out most financial operations through online and mobile banking platforms. Facilities such as internet banking, mobile apps, UPI transactions, and ATMs continue to function as usual. However, activities involving cheque clearance and negotiable instruments will be processed only after banks reopen.

How the RBI Decides Bank Holidays
The Reserve Bank of India, in coordination with state governments, finalizes and publishes the list of bank holidays each year under the Negotiable Instruments Act. This Act governs transactions such as the issuance and clearance of cheques, bills, and promissory notes. Once confirmed, the RBI releases the schedule on its official website and circulates it among all banks and financial institutions across the country.
