What happened
According to the Reserve Bank of India's official holiday calendar, banks in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, including State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, and Bank of Baroda, will remain closed on Thursday, 29 October 2026, for Karwa Chauth.
Confirmed
Global impact / market context
A one-day branch closure in one region does not stop digital banking, so customers can still use online and app services. For investors, it is a routine local holiday rather than a signal about bank revenue, costs, or profits.
Analyst inference
Indian banks follow a calendar of national, local, and weekend holidays, so single-city closures are normal and typically have little effect on listed lenders' operations or share prices. In-branch work pauses while digital channels keep running.
Analyst inference
