According to the Reserve Bank of India, bank branches in select regions will observe holidays for Diwali-related festivities.
Bank branches in several cities across India will remain closed on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, due to local festivals, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar reported by Times of India.
The closures, observed under the Negotiable Instruments Act, include Ahmedabad in Gujarat, Mumbai, Nagpur and Belapur in Maharashtra, Bengaluru in Karnataka, Dehradun in Uttarakhand and Gangtok in Sikkim.
These holidays are for Diwali (Bali Pratipada), also known as Govardhan Puja and Vikram Samvat New Year Day. In Gujarat, the day marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year, known as Bestu Varas.
While physical branches will be closed in these specific regions, customers can still access digital services. Internet banking, mobile banking, UPI, NEFT, RTGS and ATM services are generally available for fund transfers and cash withdrawals.
However, services requiring a physical visit, such as certain cheque-related transactions, over-the-counter cash operations and locker access, may be affected.
On Wednesday, November 11, banks in Gangtok, Imphal, Kanpur, Lucknow, Kolkata and Shimla will also remain closed for Laxmi Puja, Ningol Chakkouba, Bhratridwitiya, Bhaidooj and Chitragupt Jayanti.
