Is It a Bank Holiday Tomorrow, October 31?
On October 31, 2025, banking customers in Gujarat should note that all bank branches will observe a public holiday in honor of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's birth anniversary. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) lists this date as a non-working day for banks in Gujarat, including major cities like Ahmedabad.
Bank branches across other states in India, however, will remain open and provide regular services on October 31. This means there will be no disruption to banking operations for customers outside Gujarat, and transactions can proceed as normal.
Details on Gujarat Bank Holiday for October 31
- Reason for Holiday: The closure commemorates Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's birth anniversary, an important state observance for Gujarat.
- Digital Banking Unaffected: While physical branches in Gujarat will be closed, services like ATMs, UPI, internet banking, and mobile banking apps continue to function, allowing customers access to essential services remotely.
- Scope of Holiday: The holiday affects only branches within Gujarat. All other regions will have operational branches on October 31, so interstate banking activities are not impacted except within Gujarat.
October Bank Holidays Overview
October 2025 has been a busy festive month for banks, with a total of 21 holidays—including 13 weekday closures, such as for Dussehra, Diwali, and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s birth anniversary. The bank holiday on October 31 marks the final closure for the month in Gujarat.
Upcoming Bank Holidays in November 2025
Looking ahead, November will feature fewer banking holidays compared to October. Important dates include November 5 (Guru Nanak Jayanti, Kartika Purnima, Rahas Purnima), mainly affecting multiple states except Gujarat and a few others. Other closures are regional, and all Sundays remain bank holidays.

The October 31, 2025 bank holiday applies only to branches in Gujarat, in observance of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's birth anniversary. Other regions will not be affected, and banking services will continue as usual outside Gujarat.
