New Delhi: Customers planning to visit a bank branch on Friday, November 13, 2026, should check the holiday schedule before heading out. According to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) holiday calendar, bank branches in Meghalaya will remain closed on this day due to the Wangala Festival.
However, the holiday is applicable only in Meghalaya. Banks in other states, including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra, will continue their regular operations.
Here is a look at where banks will remain closed, whether major bank branches will be affected and the upcoming bank holidays in November.
Are Banks Closed Today, November 13?
Yes, bank branches in Meghalaya will remain closed on Friday, November 13, on account of the Wangala Festival.
The holiday applies to both public-sector and private-sector banks operating in the state, including branches of State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank.
However, customers in other parts of the country do not need to worry about this holiday. Bank branches in states such as Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra will remain open as usual.
Will SBI, PNB, HDFC and ICICI Bank Be Closed?
Major banks, including SBI, PNB, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank, will follow the regional holiday schedule.
Their branches in Meghalaya will remain closed on November 13. However, branches of these banks in other states will operate according to their regular schedules.
Therefore, customers should check their local branch’s holiday status rather than assuming that the closure applies nationwide.
Bank Holidays Between November 16 and November 22
The RBI holiday calendar also lists several bank holidays during the following week. These closures will apply to specific states depending on local festivals.
| Date | Day | Reason and Affected Region |
|---|---|---|
| November 16 | Monday | Chhath Puja – Bihar and Jharkhand |
| November 20 | Friday | Igas-Baghwal – Uttarakhand |
| November 22 | Sunday | Regular weekly bank holiday across India |
Banks will remain open on November 21, which is the third Saturday of the month.
Customers planning important banking activities should keep these dates in mind to avoid delays in branch-related work.
Will UPI, ATM and Mobile Banking Services Work?
Even when bank branches are closed for regional holidays, most digital banking facilities will continue to remain available.
Customers can generally use UPI applications, mobile banking, internet banking and ATM services throughout the holiday.
However, services requiring physical branch visits, such as cash deposits at counters, cheque-related processing and passbook updates, will not be available at closed branches.
Customers can therefore continue handling routine digital transactions without visiting a bank.
