Bank holiday today: Are SBI, HDFC, ICICI branches closed on Friday, 13 November for Wangala Festival? Check RBI calendar

State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and other major lenders will observe a bank holiday on Friday, November 13. This closure is due to the Wangala Festival, a traditional harvest festival celebrated by the Garo tribe in Meghalaya. Consequently, branches of Punjab National Bank (PNB) and other public sector banks will remain shut for the day.
For investors and customers, this means no cash deposits, withdrawals, or cheque clearances will be processed on Friday. While digital banking services like mobile apps and internet banking will remain functional, in-person transactions will be unavailable. This holiday is part of a series of closures throughout November as per the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) holiday calendar.
Investors should plan their transactions accordingly to avoid any disruption. The market will remain open for trading, but banking operations will pause. This regional holiday is distinct from the weekend closures and does not impact the broader financial markets' functioning.
