Is Today Bank Holiday in Odisha Due to Heavy Rains? Here’s Latest Update (October 27, 2025)

Today Bank Holiday in Odisha: Orissa presently has no bank holiday on account of incessant rainfall but with the advent of a very severe cyclone likely to cause extremely heavy to heavy rainfall in coastal and inland districts, operations are expected to either be stalled or suspended in most places. Most establishments are open, but the common public is advised to keep watching weather forecasts and announcements from their banks while local disturbances may occur.

Official Bank Holidays

The latest update on the Regional Holiday list from Reserve Bank of India does not mention that October 27 is declared bank holiday in Odisha. The last observed closure was on October 25 (Fourth Saturday). And the next holiday on the bank’s calendar is Karthika Purnima, which would be on November 5, 2025. The same holiday observance accrued in Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal for Chhath Puja created some confusion regarding the closures in Odisha.

Possible Local Disruptions and Precautions

Although banks are officially open, banking operations can be suspended temporarily or restricted in the affected areas due to a power outage combination with flood and gusty winds. There can also be interruptions in ATM services and digital banking as connectivity might be disturbed. They need to call the nearest branch or use the mobile app to check on the timings and service availability before going to the upstairs bank.
