Banking operations will be impacted in select states on Monday, November 9, 2026, due to regional holidays.
Banks will remain closed in several states on Monday, November 9, 2026, to observe Diwali, Laxmi Puja, Govardhan Pooja, and Vishwakarma Day, according to The Economic Times.
The holiday closures apply to Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Tripura, Chandigarh, Sikkim, and Manipur. In all other states and union territories, banks will function as regular working days.
Because the holiday does not apply uniformly across the country, customers planning to visit branches for cash deposits, withdrawals, or cheque-related work should check the status in their specific city.
The bank holiday schedule for November 2026 includes several other occasions across different states, such as Diwali (Bali Pratipada) on November 10 and the Wangala Festival on November 13.
