Are banks open or closed today, November 12, 2026? Find out the status of banking services today according to the RBI holiday calendar, and learn which dates in November will see bank closures.

If you have urgent banking tasks today, November 12, and aren't sure whether it is a holiday, there is good news: banks across the country remain open today, Thursday. The RBI’s holiday calendar for November does not list November 12 as a bank holiday in any state. Consequently, customers can visit their branches just as they would on any regular day to deposit cash, withdraw funds, process cheques, or handle other essential banking matters.

However, banks will remain closed in some states in the coming days due to festivals and weekly holidays. Therefore, if you have important work to complete, it is advisable to check the list of holidays before heading to the bank.

In which states are banks open today?

According to the RBI’s holiday list, there are no bank holidays today in cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Patna, Lucknow, Jaipur, Bhopal, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. This means that banking services in these cities will operate as usual.
