Banks Closed in Uttar Pradesh on 3 January

On 3 January 2026, banks in Uttar Pradesh are closed because it's Hazrat Ali's birthday, a special day for Muslims.

Banks in the rest of India are open because it's the first Saturday of the month.

Normally, banks are closed on the second and fourth Saturdays but open on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays.

There are many bank holidays in January, so people should check if their local bank is open before going.

Hazrat Ali's birthday is celebrated with prayers and good deeds.
