The incident took place in the Saryu river at Pipraghat in Ramgaon. The dead include two children.
The overcrowded boat was said to have been in a dilapidated condition. Most of the passengers were headed home after an overnight stay at the Matiyari fair, an annual event, a police officer said.
Six bodies have been fished out of the water so far and those missing are being searched for by the PAC divers, an official said.
