Bank Holiday In November 2025: Are Banks Open Or Closed Today, Saturday, November 8?

Are Banks Closed Today? Banks across India will observe public holiday today, November 08, due to the second Saturday under the RBI holiday calendar. This holiday is nationwide, leading to the closure of all bank branches across India.

Today also marks the birth anniversary of Sri Kanakadasa, who was a 16th-century poet, philosopher, and saint from Karnataka. As per RBI’s holiday list, a public holiday has been marked for banks in Karnataka for this occasion. However, the holiday falls on the second Saturday, so there is no benefit to it.

During bank holidays, customers can continue to access services through net banking, mobile banking, UPI, and ATMs. However, cheque clearing and other over-the-counter services under the Negotiable Instruments

Act will not be available.
