Guru Nanak Jayanti: Bank holidays in your state on November 5

India Nov 05, 2025

Heads up: Banks in Mizoram, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and a few other states will be closed on November 5 for Guru Nanak Jayanti, marking the birth of Sikhism's founder.
If you need to visit a branch, plan ahead!

Online banking will work just fine

Celebrated with prayers and community meals (Langar), Guru Nanak Jayanti is a big day for Sikhs and sometimes lines up with local festivals.
The good news? UPI, card payments, ATMs, and banking apps will all work as usual—so your online transactions won't skip a beat.
Plus, November has more regional holidays like Kannada Rajyothsava and Wangala Festival that could affect bank hours elsewhere this month.
