Bank Holidays in India from November 1-8, 2026: Regional Closures and Operating Days
During the first week of November 2026, banks across India will largely remain open despite Diwali and related festivals. Bank branches will be closed on Sundays, including November 1 and 8, and in some regions on specific dates such as November 2 in Shillong for the Nongkrem Dance Festival. Dhanteras on November 6 and Choti Diwali on November 7 are not bank holidays in most states. Customers are advised to check state-wise RBI holiday schedules and use digital banking services when branches are closed.
