Overview of Bank Closures on November 10
Bank customers across India should take note of regional branch closures today, November 10. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday calendar, public and private sector bank branches will remain closed in several major cities due to regional festival observances. While bank branches in key financial centers such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad will remain closed today, banking operations in major metro cities like New Delhi and Kolkata will continue as usual. Understanding this city-wise distribution of bank holidays helps customers avoid unnecessary visits to physical branches and plan their financial errands effectively.
Why Banks Are Closed Today
The bank closures on November 10 are tied to local cultural and religious festivities across specific Indian states. Celebrations such as Diwali (Bali Pratipada), Govardhan Puja, Laxmi Puja, and Vikram Samvat New Year Day are being observed in various regions today. Under the Negotiable Instruments Act specified by the RBI, bank holidays are customized according to state-level observances. Consequently, states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, and Sikkim have declared a regional holiday for banking institutions, while operations in other parts of the country remain unhindered.

In contrast, bank branches in New Delhi, Uttar Pradesh (including Lucknow and Kanpur), West Bengal, and several southern states are fully open today, though some may observe holidays later in the week for Bhai Dooj and regional festivals.

While physical branch services—such as over-the-counter cash deposits, cheque clearances, and paper document submissions—are unavailable in the affected cities today, digital banking channels operate without interruption 24/7. Account holders can seamlessly perform transactions using mobile banking apps, internet banking portals, UPI payments, and ATMs nationwide. Customers needing immediate money transfers or balance checks can comfortably rely on digital platforms despite physical branch closures.
