Planning a visit to your bank branch today? Customers in multiple cities will have to wait another day, as banks remain closed on Tuesday, November 10, for Diwali-related festivities. 

November's bank holiday calendar has several festival-related closures, but these are spread across different dates and locations. While Diwali and its associated celebrations account for multiple holidays in the first half of the month, Chhath Puja, Guru Nanak Jayanti and other regional observances will affect branch operations later in November.

The schedule also includes the usual second and fourth Saturday closures, along with Sundays. Here's what customers need to know before planning their banking activities for the rest of the month.

Where Are Banks Closed Today?

Tuesday's closure is linked to Diwali (Bali Pratipada), Deepawali (Govardhan Puja), Laxmi Puja and Vikram Samvant New Year Day.

Bank branches will remain closed in the following cities on November 10:

- Ahmedabad
- Belapur
- Bengaluru
- Dehradun
- Gangtok
- Mumbai
- Nagpur

The November 10 holiday follows another round of Diwali-related closures on November 9, when banks were shut in Agartala, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Gangtok, Imphal, Jaipur, Kanpur, Lucknow and Raipur.

On November 11, branches in Gangtok, Imphal, Kanpur, Kolkata, Lucknow and Shimla will also remain closed for Laxmi Puja, Ningol Chakkouba, Bhratridwitiya, Bhaidooj and Chitragupt Jayanti.

Chhath, Igas-Bagwal: Regional Holidays To Affect Branch Operations

Apart from the major festival dates, a number of regional observances will lead to bank closures in specific cities.

Branches in Patna and Ranchi will remain closed on November 16 for Chhath Puja, also listed as Surya Shashti Dala Chhath (Prath Arghya). Dehradun will observe a holiday on November 20 for Igas-Bagwal.

In Shillong, banks will remain closed on November 13 for the Wangala Festival and again on November 23 for Seng Kut Snem.

These city-specific holidays mean that customers may find their local branches open even when banks in other parts of the country are shut.

Banking On A Holiday: Which Services Can Customers Still Access?

A bank holiday does not necessarily bring all banking services to a halt. Customers can continue to use digital banking facilities, including online banking and UPI, for routine transactions that do not require a visit to a branch.

However, work involving locker access, demand drafts, certain cash transactions, cheque-related services and documentation that requires assistance from bank staff may have to be completed on a working day.

Since several November holidays apply only to selected cities, customers should confirm their local branch's operating schedule before making a visit.
