Banks open on Dhanteras, no holiday on 6 November
The Story in Brief
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.
