Banks follow a mix of national, regional and fixed weekly offs. Here's a breakdown of the full list based on the RBI schedule:

November 6: In Shillong, banks close for the Nongkrem Dance festival. Meanwhile, banks under the Patna regional office take the day off due to the Bihar Legislative Assembly General Election in 2025.

November 7: Shillong-area banks get another day for the Wangala Festival.
