Banks in various states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh will not be functioning on Wednesday as they celebrate Diwali, Vikram Samvat New Year, Govardhan Puja, Balipadyami, and Lakshmi Puja.

From October 20 to 23, Sikkim will have a four-day holiday period.

Maharashtra will close for two days on October 21 and 22.

A two-day bank holiday of Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh is scheduled from October 22 to 23. Various other major cities and states also regulate their own holiday calendars. Different banks in Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata, Lucknow, Patna, Raipur, Ranchi, Thiruvananthapuram, and Vijayawada will be closed on different dates due to different festival observances.

The October bank closures which will take place due to different festivals are: Ayudhapooja, Vijayadashami, Durga Puja, Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, Lakshmi Puja, Maharshi Valmiki Jayanti/Kumar Purnima, Karva Chauth, Kati Bihu, Naraka Chaturdashi, Govardhan Pooja, Balipadyami, Bhaidooj, Chath Puja, and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s birthday.
