After a month that saw several festival holidays, banks are set for a busier November. This month will see fewer breaks compared to October. Since today is Saturday, many people are wondering whether banks across India will remain open or closed.
November will also see fewer festival holidays, with all the festivals in the month falling in the first week. With the first week already over, none of the banks in any state in the country will remain closed due to festivals.
Is November 15 a Bank Holiday?
Since, today is the third Saturday of the month, banks typically remain operational on third Saturdays. Therefore, banks will be open in all states across the country.

RBI Bank Holidays Schedule
According to the Reserve Bank of India's holiday calendar, there are three weekday holidays in November. Apart from these, all Sundays will remain closed as usual. Normally, only the second and fourth Saturdays are bank holidays. However, this time, the first Saturday was also a holiday in select regions.
On these days, not just banks but government offices, schools, and many public institutions also remain shut in different states and UTs.
While physical bank branches are closed on these days, online and mobile banking services will continue to function normally. On all bank holidays, customers can access internet banking, UPI payments, online fund transfers, and ATM services. Customers should check the regional holiday calendar of the local branch before visiting the bank.
