Bank Branch Closures in October-November 2026 Due to Regional Holidays Across India
Banks across India, including SBI, HDFC, ICICI, and others, will observe several regional holidays in late October and November 2026, leading to branch closures on specific dates varying by city. While in-branch services will be unavailable on these days, digital banking platforms will remain operational nationwide. Customers are advised to check local branch schedules before planning visits, as holidays correspond to regional festivals such as Laxmi Puja, Diwali, and Guru Nanak Jayanti.
