Bank Holidays in November 2025: Banks to Remain Closed on 11 Days — Check Full List

Banks across India will observe multiple holidays in November 2025 — including national observances, regional celebrations and standard weekend closures. These dates are important if you plan in-branch banking or financial tasks during the month.

According to the official schedule released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and state-wise holiday lists, there are 11 key days when banks will be closed. These apply to most bank branches, although some local branches may have additional state-specific holidays.

Why There’s a Total of 11 Bank Holidays

The count of 11 comes from the combination of:

National/Regional festival holidays.

Regular non-working days for banks (all Sundays + second and fourth Saturdays).

Additional state-level specific holidays that apply in certain regions.

Here’s how the breakdown works: all Sundays in November (5 of them), plus the second Saturday (8 Nov) and fourth Saturday (22 Nov) already account for 7 days. Add to that a few festival holidays like 5 Nov and 11 Nov, and you reach around 11 days.

Important Dates & Holiday Details (November 2025)

Note: Some states may have additional local holidays such as festival days or state formation days which are not captured in the national list above.

What This Means for You

If you plan to visit a bank branch in November, avoid these dates for in-person transactions.

Online banking, mobile apps and ATMs will continue to work on most holidays.

If you’re scheduling payments or deadlines (loan repayments, checks, withdrawals), be aware of the non-working days to avoid delays.

If you’re in a state with additional regional holidays, check your state’s bank-holiday list too.

Tips to Plan Ahead

Schedule important banking tasks (cash withdrawals, cheque deposits, branch visits) for early in the month or on working Saturdays.

Avoid waiting until the last minute for branch-only services, since closures may delay processing.

Use digital alternatives on holiday dates to mitigate disruption.

Check your bank’s branch notice board or website for any local holiday declarations beyond the national list.

Conclusion

With roughly 11 bank holiday days in November 2025, it’s a month where planning matters. Whether you’re in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi or elsewhere, knowing these dates helps you avoid unexpected closures and ensures smoother banking operations. Mark your calendar, prep ahead, and you’ll stay one step ahead of any banking holiday surprises.

FAQ

Q1: Are all banks closed on these days?
Most public and private bank branches follow the RBI holiday schedule. However, some branches in special zones (e.g., metro branches, certain service kiosks) may operate under modified hours or exceptions.

Q2: Will online banking work on these holidays?
Yes — digital banking services (apps, internet banking, ATMs) generally remain operational even when branches are closed.

Q3: Why are second and fourth Saturdays bank holidays?
The RBI mandate classifies second and fourth Saturdays as holiday days for bank branches. The first, third and fifth Saturdays are typically working days unless otherwise specified.

Q4: Do states have extra bank holidays beyond this list?
Yes — many states observe regional festivals or state-specific holidays, so local lists may include additional closure days.

Q5: What should I do if I have a deadline on a holiday?
