Guru Nanak Jayanti 2025: Banks Closed in Multiple States on November 5
Imagine banks and stock markets are like stores.
On November 5, 2025, many of these financial 'stores' across India will close for a special holiday called Guru Nanak Jayanti.
This day celebrates the birthday of the first Sikh leader, Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
It's also a special day in the Hindu calendar called Kartika Purnima.
Because of this, banks in many states like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and New Delhi won't be open.
The stock markets where people buy and sell shares will also be closed for the whole day.
Even though the main banks are closed, you can still use online services on your phone or computer for quick tasks.
Sometimes, if you're unsure, it's always good to double-check with your specific bank or the local holiday list.
Banks across multiple Indian states will be closed on November 5, 2025, for Guru Nanak Jayanti.
The holiday also coincides with Kartika Purnima and Rahas Purnima, contributing to bank closures.
States with confirmed bank holidays include Mizoram, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Chandigarh, Uttarakhand, Telangana, Arunachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jammu & Srinagar, Uttar Pradesh, Nagaland, West Bengal, New Delhi, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Himachal Pradesh.
The Indian stock and commodity markets (NSE, BSE, MCX) will also observe a holiday on November 5, 2025.
Customers are advised to check with their local bank or RBI for specific holiday confirmations as regional variations may occur, though digital banking services will remain available.
