The month of October brings abundance of festivals in India. During this time, different festivals are celebrated in different states across the country, and in such a situation it becomes important to take special care of bank holidays. If you are also planning to do any important work related to the bank in October, then this information is very useful for you.
This year Karva Chauth is falling on 10 October 2025, which is Friday. It is celebrated with great devotion and faith especially by the women of North India. On this day, married women observe a waterless fast for the long life of their husbands and break the fast by offering Arghya to the moon. Now the question arises whether banks will remain closed on the day of Karva Chauth?
Where will banks remain closed on Karva Chauth?
Karva Chauth is a regional festival, which is celebrated with great pomp mainly in the states of North India like Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. But this does not mean that banks all over India will remain closed on this day. On October 10, 2025, banks will remain closed only in Himachal Pradesh, while banks in other states will remain open normally. If you live in Himachal Pradesh and you have some important bank work, then settle it a day before, so that you do not face any kind of problem.
October 2025: Complete list of bank holidays
Many big festivals are falling in October 2025, which include festivals like Gandhi Jayanti, Dussehra, Diwali, Bhai Dooj and Chhath Puja. Apart from this, like every month, this time also banks will remain closed on second and fourth Saturday and all Sundays.
Information is important for banking planning
If you want to do any work related to check clearance, cash deposit/withdrawal, loan or other banking services in October, then plan keeping these holidays in mind. Especially during festivals, work may slow down at many places and crowding in banks also increases. Online banking services like net banking, UPI, mobile apps etc. remain operational even during festivals, but if the work has to be done by visiting the branch, then it is important to know about the holidays in advance.
