Bank Holiday In October 2025: Banks across India will observe several public and regional holidays next week from Monday, October 06, to Sunday, October 12, 2025, under the RBI holiday calendar. These holidays are not uniform nationwide and vary from state to state. That means on some dates, banks in certain states will remain closed, while in others, they will function normally. The upcoming festivals include Lakshmi Puja, Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti, and Karwa Chauth.
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.
