On account of the upcoming festivals, banks will be non-functional for as many as 16 days in October. Bank holidays are notified by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI); the central bank categorises these as ‘national’ (all branches closed) and ‘regional’ (for state-specific festivals).

As there will be a number of bank holidays, you should be aware of the holidays falling in the month of October in your state if you are planning to visit the bank for any finance-related work.

Banks in October are closed on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, Mahalaya, Kati Bihu, Durga Puja, Dusshera, Lakshmi Puja, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s Birthday.
