Bank Holiday: If you have an important work today in bank, then this article is for you. Schools, colleges, and government offices in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh are closed today, November 25th, in honor of Guru Tegh Bahadur’s martyrdom. This has led to confusion among many about whether banks will also be closed tomorrow, Tuesday. If all government offices are shut today, will bank branches be operational today? Discover here if banks will be closed in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday, November 25th.
The Uttar Pradesh government has shifted the holiday for the Martyrdom Day of Guru Tegh Bahadur. Previously, this holiday was set for November 24th, but it has now been moved to Tuesday, November 25th. Consequently, all government offices, as well as government and private schools and colleges, will be closed on Tuesday, November 25th in both UP and Delhi. So, what about the banks?
According to the RBI’s list of bank holidays, November 25th has not been designated as a holiday. The RBI has not mandated that banks remain closed in UP and Delhi. Therefore, on Tuesday, November 25th, banks will be open, while schools, colleges, and government offices will be closed.
Typically, there is a public holiday on November 24th each year to commemorate Guru Tegh Bahadur’s martyrdom day, but this year the date has been altered. The government has announced a holiday for November 25th instead of November 24th. On the martyrdom day of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, we honor his remarkable bravery, steadfast devotion, and commitment to humanity. In 1675, he bravely opposed injustice and oppression, safeguarding not only the religious freedom of Sikhism but also that of the entire nation. He sacrificed his life to defend the faith of Kashmiri Pandits, yet he never wavered in his principles.
