All scheduled banks in India will remain closed on 21 October 2024, following the Dussehra holiday. Banking services will resume on 22 October.
Dussehra 2024 falls on 21 October, and as a result, all scheduled banks across India will be closed on that day.
The closure includes both national and state‑owned banks, meaning customers will not have access to branch services or cash withdrawals at physical bank locations.
Customers are encouraged to use online banking, mobile apps, or ATM machines for transactions, as most ATMs will continue to operate during the holiday.
Bank operations are set to resume on 22 October, when the holiday ends and normal banking hours are restored.
