New Delhi: Bank customers should plan their financial activities carefully next week, as banks across different parts of India will observe six days of holidays between November 9 and November 15, 2026. According to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) official holiday calendar, these closures will affect public and private sector banks, including State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Punjab National Bank and Bank of Baroda.
The holidays are linked to regional festivals, religious occasions and regular weekend closures. However, bank holidays will not be observed uniformly across the country, as some dates apply only to specific states and cities.
