Bank Holiday Today:
Many people in Andhra Pradesh are worried about whether banks will remain open today because Cyclone Montha is approaching the state. The government has already declared holidays for schools and colleges in several districts for three days due to safety concerns. However, people are still confused about bank operations in the affected regions.
Today is 27 October 2025, Monday. The cyclone threat is strong in Krishna, NTR, East Godavari, Nellore, and Tirupati districts. Heavy rains and strong winds are expected in these coastal areas. To protect students, the Andhra Pradesh government has given holidays to all educational institutions in these districts. The holidays are likely to continue for three days based on the weather situation.
Many citizens assumed that banks might also remain closed due to the cyclone. There is also a concern about essential financial work being delayed if branches are shut. Officials have clarified that banks in Andhra Pradesh are not included in the holiday list. All bank branches in the state will operate as usual. People can visit the bank and perform regular financial transactions without worry.
Although Andhra Pradesh banks are open, some states in India have announced holidays for different reasons. In Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal, banks are closed today because of the Chhath Puja festival. Chhath Puja is an important celebration that continues for four days. Since today is the third day of the festival with evening rituals, banks and government offices in those states have declared a holiday.
It is important for people in Andhra Pradesh to stay safe while traveling due to the cyclone weather. If the rainfall becomes extremely heavy, banks may adjust working hours or shift to emergency services. Citizens are advised to stay updated through official announcements from local authorities.
To summarize, there is no bank holiday in Andhra Pradesh today due to Cyclone Montha. Banks will continue normal services across the state. Only schools and colleges have been given holidays for student safety. In other states like Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal, banks are closed today because of Chhath Puja celebrations.
