Bank holidays in October 2026: SBI, HDFC, and other lenders to remain shut for up to 11 days — Check RBI calendar
Mint 51 min ago·24 Sept 2026, 8:48 am
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released its official holiday calendar for October 2026, which outlines several non-working days for banks across the country. These closures are due to a mix of national holidays, regional festivals, and the second Saturday of the month. Consequently, major lenders like the State Bank of India (SBI) and HDFC Bank will remain closed for up to 11 days during this period.
This schedule is crucial for investors to track as it directly impacts banking operations and financial settlements. Trading in equity markets, however, remains unaffected as stock exchanges operate on a different schedule. Investors should ensure that all critical financial transactions, such as fund transfers or bill payments, are completed before the scheduled closures to avoid any disruptions.
