# Banks open on Dhanteras, no holiday on 6 November 2026-11-06T14:31:14+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Banks across India are open on Friday, 6 November 2026, despite the festival of Dhanteras being observed nationwide. All public and private sector branches are functioning as usual, the report said. Customers planning to visit a branch for essential work can do so, as there is no bank holiday declared for Dhanteras. Online and mobile banking services also remain available. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The clarification confirms that no RBI-mandated holiday applies to Dhanteras, so branch timings remain normal. Customers who assumed a holiday need not delay urgent transactions, though festival crowds may affect walk-in service. The next holiday on the RBI calendar is for Diwali, which falls later this month. ## Coverage - amarujala.com Straight utility report clarifying bank holiday status This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
