Bank Holiday Today: On November 25, the Delhi and Uttar Pradesh governments declared a public holiday for schools and government offices to mark the 350th martyrdom anniversary (Shaheed Diwas) of Guru Tegh Bahadur.
This has left many wondering whether banks will also remain closed today. With government offices shut, people are questioning if bank branches will operate as usual.
Are Banks Closed Today?
Banks will remain open today as there is no RBI-notified public holiday. Customers can access branch services across India without any disruption. All scheduled bank holidays for November concluded in the first half of the month. Therefore, on Tuesday, November 25, banks will operate as usual, even though schools, colleges, and government offices are closed.
