Bank holiday today, 10 Nov Tuesday: Bank branches closed in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai and 3 other cities; here's why
Bank customers in seven cities across India will not be able to access regular banking services at physical branches today, Tuesday, 10 November 2026, as several cities observe a regional bank holiday during the five-day Diwali festive period.
According to the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) November 2026 regional office holiday calendar, banks will remain closed in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru and others under the Negotiable Instruments Act.
However, the closure is not applicable across the country, and bank branches in other cities will continue to operate as usual.
According to the RBI calendar, all public and private banks in the following cities/ states will remain closed today, Tuesday, 10 November:
- Ahmedabad
- Belapur
- Bengaluru
- Dehradun
- Gangtok
- Mumbai
- Nagpur
The 10 November holiday is associated with multiple regional and religious observances, including Diwali (Bali Pratipada), Deepawali (Govardhan Puja), Laxmi Puja, and Vikram Samvat New Year Day.
These celebrations are observed in different regions, which is why bank holidays vary from one city to another.
Yes. Even when bank branches remain closed for regional holidays, customers can continue to access most routine banking services through digital channels.
Internet banking, mobile banking applications, UPI and ATM services generally remain available. Customers can use these facilities for fund transfers, bill payments, balance enquiries, and other routine financial transactions.
However, services requiring physical branch visits, such as certain cheque-related transactions, cash services, document submissions, and other in-person banking services, will not be available today.
Banks will remain closed in six cities tomorrow, Wednesday, 11 November, according to the RBI's holiday calendar.
These locations are Gangtok, Imphal, Kanpur, Kolkata, Lucknow and Shimla.
The holiday will be observed on account of Laxmi Puja (Deepawali), Ningol Chakkouba, Bhratridwitiya, Bhaidooj and Chitragupt Jayanti.
This means that banks in Gangtok will remain closed on both 10 November and 11 November. However, branches in Ahmedabad, Belapur, Bengaluru, Dehradun, Mumbai and Nagpur will observe a holiday only on 10 November, while banks in Imphal, Kanpur, Kolkata, Lucknow and Shimla will remain open today but closed tomorrow, 11 November.
Bank branches in other cities are not scheduled to observe this particular regional holiday on 11 November. Customers should check their respective bank's website or contact their nearest branch to confirm local operating hours before visiting.
