Customers planning to visit a bank in November should check the holiday schedule before heading to their nearest branch. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar, bank closures on November 2, 2026, will depend on the location.

On Monday, November 2, banks in Shillong will remain closed due to the Nongkrem Dance festival. However, branches in other states are expected to operate as usual. Since bank holidays vary across regions, customers should confirm the schedule for their particular city.

Why Are Banks Closed on November 2?

The bank holiday in Shillong on November 2 has been declared on account of the Nongkrem Dance festival.

The closure is limited to Shillong, while banks in other parts of the country are scheduled to remain open.

According to the RBI holiday calendar, there are no scheduled bank holidays from November 3 to November 7. Bank branches are expected to provide their regular services during this period.

Banks across the country will again remain closed on Sunday, November 8, due to the usual weekly holiday.

Bank Holiday Rules in November

Under RBI guidelines, banks generally remain closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, as well as on Sundays. Apart from these regular weekly holidays, branches may also close on account of regional festivals and special occasions.

The RBI prepares and publishes the annual bank holiday calendar, with certain holidays applicable only to specific states or cities.

Customers should therefore check the applicable holiday list before planning important branch visits or banking transactions.

Will Online Banking Work During Bank Holidays?

Even when physical bank branches are closed, customers can continue using several digital banking facilities.

Internet banking and mobile banking applications remain available for many routine financial activities. This allows customers to manage their accounts and carry out supported transactions without visiting a branch.

For confirmation about bank holidays in a particular city during November 2026, customers can contact their nearest branch or check the RBI’s official holiday calendar.
