Bank branches in several cities will be closed on a string of dates between 13 and 29 November, according to the Reserve Bank of India’s holiday calendar for the month. The list applies city by city, so a holiday in Patna does not close branches in Chennai. Banks in Gangtok, Imphal, Kanpur, Kolkata, Lucknow and Shimla were shut today, 11 November, for Laxmi Puja, Bhai Dooj and Chitragupt Jayanti.
Closures Before and After Chhath
Shillong has a holiday on 13 November for the Wangala festival. The second Saturday, 14 November, and Sunday, 15 November, close banks everywhere. On Monday, 16 November, branches in Patna and Ranchi are closed for Chhath Puja. The Delhi government has separately announced that its offices will be shut that day; see IPB’s report on the Delhi Chhath holiday.
Dehradun has a holiday on 20 November for Igas-Bagwal, and Shillong again on 23 November for Seng Kut Snem.

The RBI calendar marks the day as a holiday in Aizawl, Belapur, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Hyderabad, Itanagar, Jaipur, Jammu, Kanpur, Kohima, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, New Delhi, Raipur, Ranchi, Shimla and Srinagar.

Check Your City Before Visiting
The RBI matrix is built around holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act, and some entries are local, such as the Vijayawada holiday on 5 November for local body elections. Customers who need a cheque cleared, a demand draft or a locker visit should check the date against their own city in the RBI table. More RBI-related reports are collected on IPB News.
