November Bank Holiday: If you have any important work to do at the bank today, then wait a moment, because banks across the country will be closed today, November 8th. The reason for this closure is not just a holiday, but also a special occasion. Today is the second Saturday of the month, and the birth anniversary of the great poet and saint Sri Kanakadasa is also being celebrated in Karnataka. Although this is a regional festival, the second Saturday holiday will affect banks across the country. If you are worried about banking services being disrupted, that is not the case. Net banking, UPI, and ATM services will remain fully operational today, but check clearing and over-the-counter services will be suspended until tomorrow.

November Bank Holiday: If you have any important work to do at the bank today, November 8th, then this news is important for you. All banks across the country will be closed today because it is the second Saturday of the month. According to the RBI holiday calendar, banks are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. Therefore, all bank branches will be closed today, but online banking services will continue.

Why is today a bank holiday?

According to RBI rules, banks are closed on every second and fourth Saturday. This year, banks are closed because November 8th falls on the second Saturday. Today is also the birth anniversary of Sri Kanakadasa, the great saint and poet of Karnataka. Although this holiday is specific to the state of Karnataka, since today is also a Saturday, banks are closed nationwide.

Will online services be affected?

If you're thinking that bank closures will halt all work, that's not the case. Customers can still perform all their essential tasks through net banking, mobile banking, UPI, and ATMs. Only check clearing and over-the-counter services will be affected. This means that if you've deposited a check, it will be processed the next working day.

When will the next bank holidays be?

The next bank holiday this month will be on November 22nd, the fourth Saturday. Banks will also be closed on November 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th, all Sundays. Banks will remain open on the remaining days, November 15th and 29th, so if you have any urgent work to do, you can plan around these dates.

What are the banking timings?

Most banks in the country operate from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Some private banks, such as HDFC, ICICI, Axis, and Yes Bank, start operations a little earlier, at 9:30 AM. Canara Bank's hours are generally from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Therefore, whenever you visit a bank, check your branch's hours in advance.
