The State Bank of India (SBI) has announced a short maintenance break that will make several digital banking services unavailable on November 23, 2025.
During this time, customers won’t be able to access many of the bank’s online and app-based services.
SBI has apologized for the inconvenience and suggested customers use UPI Lite for small, quick transactions while the maintenance is underway.
Which Services Will Be Unavailable?
SBI has confirmed that major digital services like UPI, IMPS, YONO, Internet Banking, NEFT, and RTGS will be offline from 1:10 AM to 2:45 AM on November 23.
This downtime will last for 95 minutes, after which all services are expected to return to normal by 2:45 AM.
ATM Services to Be Affected as Well
Not just digital platforms—SBI’s ATM services will also face a temporary shutdown.
ATMs will remain unavailable from 1:10 AM to 2:10 AM.
Once the scheduled time ends, ATM services will resume their regular functioning.
What Should Customers Do?
The bank is encouraging customers to use UPI Lite for hassle-free small payments during this period.
SBI has also assured that the maintenance work is essential to enhance customer experience and strengthen banking services.
The bank has requested users to remain patient and cooperative during this short window.
Why Is This Maintenance Important?
Regular maintenance keeps banking systems secure, stable, and efficient.
As the number of digital transactions grows, servers and software need upgrades to handle the increased load.
Maintenance also allows banks to:
Improve security to prevent cyberattacks and fraud
Fix technical issues in older systems
Add new features or improve existing ones
In short, these temporary downtimes ensure that your banking experience remains smooth, safe, and reliable in the long run.
