Confusion arose regarding bank closures for the Lohri festival on January 13, 2026. While Lohri is celebrated in northern India, it is not a nationwide bank holiday. Most sources indicate banks remained open on January 13, with closures occurring on January 14 and 15 for Makar Sankranti and other regional festivals in specific states. Digital banking services were unaffected, though physical branches in some northern regions may have closed.
