Bank Holidays November 16-22, Banks To Remain Closed For 3 Days In Select Cities; Check Full List

Banks in select cities will observe three-day closures between November 16 and 22, 2026, to accommodate regional festivals and Sundays, according to the Reserve Bank of India's holiday calendar. Customers are advised to plan ahead for any disruptions to services that typically require in-person banking.

On November 16, banks in Patna and Ranchi will close in observance of Surya Shashthi Dala Chhath. Urgent branch transactions should be completed prior to this holiday. No other national closures are expected on this date.

The next bank holiday occurs on November 20 in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Igas-Bagwal, a traditional regional festival, will cause all banks in the city to remain closed. Other cities will continue banking operations as usual unless separate local holidays are declared.

The final day of closures is Sunday, November 22, which will be a regular weekly holiday. Banks nationwide, including both public and private sector institutions, will be closed on this day. The system observes the second and fourth Saturdays as non-working days, while the first and third Saturdays typically remain operational.

During branch closures, customers can still access digital banking services such as UPI, mobile banking, internet banking, and ATMs. However, in-person transactions like cheque deposits and document submissions may not be possible. Customers are encouraged to confirm their specific branch's schedule before visiting.
