Bank Holiday : Bank employees are always looking forward to long holidays, and this time, they are in for some good news. From October 25 to October 28, 2025, banks will remain closed for four consecutive days. Let’s take a look at which states the RBI has announced these holidays for.
Bank Holiday : Four Consecutive Days of Bank Closure
October is known as the month of festivals, and therefore, banks also observe several holidays. Since different states celebrate different festivals, the RBI declares bank holidays according to the local festivals of each state.
This time, banks will remain closed for four consecutive days — including Saturday, Sunday, and Chhath Puja. This comes as great news for those eagerly waiting for a long weekend.
Bank Holiday : Banks Closed on October 25 and 26
Banks will remain closed on October 25 and 26, as October 25 falls on the fourth Saturday and October 26 is a Sunday.
In addition, October 27 will be a holiday in West Bengal, Bihar, and Jharkhand due to Chhath Puja (Evening Arghya). Banks in Bihar and Jharkhand will also remain closed on October 28 for Chhath Puja (Morning Arghya).
Hence, banks will be closed for a total of four consecutive days.
Bank Closure on October 31 as Well
Banks in Gujarat will also remain closed on October 31, on the occasion of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Jayanti.
Online Banking Services Will Remain Active
Nowadays, with the availability of net banking and mobile banking, it has become easy to transfer funds, check balances, pay bills, and even apply for loans.
However, there are still some tasks that require visiting the bank branch, such as:
- Updating KYC
- Depositing or withdrawing cash
- Accessing locker services
- Filing complaints about failed transactions
-
Closing or opening joint accounts
Important Things to Remember Before Visiting the Bank

- Arrange for necessary cash beforehand.
- Learn to use digital banking and keep UPI and mobile apps active.
- Complete your bank work early to avoid heavy rush before holidays.
-
Try to finish major financial transactions before the long weekend.
