Why are banks open today?

India Nov 29, 2025

Banks across India are open this Saturday, November 29, because it's the fifth Saturday of the month.
The RBI only gives you a break on the second and fourth Saturdays—so if there's a fifth one, like today, branches stay open.
The only exceptions: in Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, banks are closed for local holidays.

What's the deal with bank holidays and online services?

Here's how it works: banks shut on all Sundays plus every second and fourth Saturday. This month, those were November 8 and 22.
Heads up—tomorrow is Sunday (November 30), so everything will be closed.
But don't worry: online banking is always up, even when branches aren't.
