November 2026 bank holidays: City-wise list before visiting branches
The Story in Brief
Banks across India will remain closed on several days in November 2026 for festivals including Diwali, Govardhan Puja, Bhai Dooj, Chhath Puja and Guru Nanak Jayanti, with closures varying by state. Branches will also be shut on all Sundays and the second and fourth Saturdays of the month.
Key dates include November 9 (Diwali and Govardhan Puja) for banks in cities such as Agartala, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Kanpur and Lucknow, November 10 (Diwali and Bali Pratipada) for Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Nagpur, November 11 (Bhai Dooj) for Gangtok, Kolkata, Lucknow and Shimla, November 16 (Chhath Puja) for Patna and Ranchi, and November 24 (Guru Nanak Jayanti) for New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and others.
Customers of SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank are advised to complete urgent branch work in advance. Digital services including UPI, mobile banking, internet banking and ATMs will remain available.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The staggered holiday schedule means branch-dependent customers, especially in cities like Gangtok with three consecutive closures, face a compressed window for in-person banking early in the month. The list leaves unresolved which private or rural branches might add local holidays beyond the dates listed, since the schedule only names specific cities for each observance. Customers in unlisted locations must check their own branch's calendar before the first round of closures on 9 November.
