Guru Tegh Bahadur Shaheedi Diwas: Banks remain open today

India Nov 25, 2025

Today marks Shaheedi Diwas (Martyrdom Day) of Guru Tegh Bahadur, a significant day especially in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh where it's a public holiday.
But if you need to visit the bank, no worries—banks across India are open as usual.
The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) official holiday calendar confirms that banking services won't be interrupted today, even with the religious observance.

How RBI decides bank holidays

Bank holidays aren't the same everywhere—they depend on local festivals and state government decisions.
Generally, banks close on the second and fourth Saturdays plus national holidays.
To keep things running smoothly, RBI puts out a monthly holiday list for each state so everyone knows when banks will actually be closed.
