Diwali is broadly being celebrated on October 20, 2025 (Monday) in most states in India, and in some states, it is being celebrated on October 21, 2025 (Tuesday), depending on regional observance. However, bank customers should always check the state bank holiday calendar for certainty.
It’s best for customers to check their respective state’s official bank holiday list or confirm with their local branch before planning any banking transactions, as holidays are notified by individual state governments under the Reserve Bank of India’s guidelines.
