Planning a bank visit on Wednesday? Check your city first, because branches will be closed in some places.

On Wednesday, 11 November 2026, bank branches will be shut in several cities across India. The reason is local festivals.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has listed these holidays in its November 2026 holiday calendar.

Bank holidays are not the same everywhere. They change from city to city and state to state.

### Key points

- Bank branches are closed on 11 November 2026 in five cities.
- The holidays are for Bhai Dooj, Lakshmi Puja, Ningol Chakouba and Chitragupta Jayanti.
- Online banking, UPI and ATMs will keep working.
- The next nationwide holiday is Sunday, 15 November.

## Which cities will have closed bank branches?

Kanpur and Lucknow, in Uttar Pradesh, will have holidays for Bhai Dooj and Chitragupta Jayanti.

In Gangtok, in Sikkim, branches will stay closed for Lakshmi Puja and Bhai Dooj.

Imphal, in Manipur, will have a holiday for the Ningol Chakouba festival.

Kolkata, in West Bengal, and Shimla, in Himachal Pradesh, will also be closed for Lakshmi Puja and Bhai Dooj.

## Can you still do your banking online?

Yes, you can. A branch holiday does not stop digital services.

UPI, mobile banking, internet banking, NEFT, RTGS and IMPS will keep working.

ATMs will also be available for cash withdrawals. So you can still get cash if you need it.

But work that needs you to visit a branch in person should be planned in advance.

## What should you check before you go?

Holidays change by city and state. So check the official RBI holiday calendar before you travel to a branch.

Also note that Sunday, 15 November, is a weekly holiday. Banks will be closed across the country that day.

If you have a pending task, a short check now can save you a wasted trip.
