Saturday bank holiday today: Are banks open or closed today on October 24, 2026?

Many customers have their bank-related work pending for Saturday as they get time to visit their bank branch only on that day. But banks are not open on all Saturdays. So, if they want to complete such tasks today (Saturday, October 24, 2026), it is important to know the status of the bank holiday.

Are banks open or closed today on Saturday, October 24, 2026?

Banks across the country will remain closed on Saturday, October 24, 2026, as it is the fourth Saturday of the month. Banks in India uniformly observe a holiday on all second and fourth Saturdays of each month.

If you have cheque clearances, loan equated monthly instalment (EMI) submissions, or branch-specific documentation due, where you need to visit a branch, you can plan your visit on the next working day to avoid delays.

Digital banking

Digital services and automated teller machines (ATMs) will continue to operate without interruption. Customers can seamlessly carry out transactions through internet banking, mobile banking apps and UPI platforms, which remain fully functional even on bank holidays, including the second and fourth Saturdays.
