Bank Holiday Today, November 8, 2025: If you’re planning to visit the bank on Saturday, November 8, it’s important to first check whether the banks are open. This day is the second Saturday of November, and according to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rules, all banks are closed every Sunday, second, and fourth Saturday. This means that bank branch services across the country will be closed for two consecutive days on Saturday and Sunday.

Today is Kanakadasa Jayanti

Kanakadasa Jayanti will also be celebrated in Karnataka on this day, which is why banks will remain closed. Kanakadasa Jayanti is celebrated every year in memory of Kanakadasa, a great saint, poet, and social reformer from the state. He preached equality, devotion, and love in society. Kanakadasa was a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu and is considered one of the leading poets of the Bhakti movement.

Banks are closed from November 5th to 9th.

According to the RBI holiday list, banks in many states were closed between November 5th and 9th for various reasons. However, this varied across states. Banks were not closed simultaneously in all states. The good news is that after this weekend, banks will no longer be closed for any major festivals in November. So, if you need to handle urgent banking work, all branches will be open as usual from Monday.

November 8th (Saturday) – Banks will be closed across the country due to the second Saturday and Kanaka in Karnataka. However, banks are also closed tomorrow due to Kanakadasa Jayanti in Karnataka.

November 9th (Sunday) – Banks will be closed across the country due to Sunday. Additionally, the remaining Sundays in November, i.e., November 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th, are closed.
