Banks will remain closed on account of a few festivals this month and under the Negotiable Instruments Acts in a few states. According to RBI’s calendar, banks will be closed for up to 17 days across the country in the month of November 2021.
Some of the festivals observed next month include Diwali, Bhai Duj, Chhath Puja, among others, due to which banks in a few states will remain closed as per the Negotiable Instruments Act, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Except for Bengaluru, all the banks will observe a holiday on Diwali Amavasya (Laxmi Pujan). It may be noted that apart from the weekly offs, banks will not be closed for all 17 days for all states as these are state-specific holidays for different occasions.
