Banks in India are closed for regional holidays, which vary according to state and national holidays celebrated throughout the country. India’s national holidays include Republic Day on January 26, Independence Day on August 15, and Gandhi Jayanti on October 2. Those planning to visit bank branches should check to see if specific days are holidays.
Banks are closed on October 2 to mark Gandhi Jayanti- commemorating Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday. The United Nations recognizes the day as International Day of Non violence.
In October, banks will be closed for 15 days in different states due to state-specific festivals. Bank holidays also encompass all Sundays as well as the second and fourth Saturdays. In this month, banks will be closed for Gandhi Jayanti, Dussehra, Durga Puja, Valmiki Jayanti, and Diwali, among others.
Even on bank holidays, all online and digital banking services will be fully operational for customers without disruption.
