Bank Holiday Today, November 9: Banks Shut in 8 States for Diwali, Open in Mumbai and Delhi; Check Full List

Banks will remain closed in eight states and union territories on Monday, November 9, 2026, for Diwali-related celebrations, including Laxmi Puja, Govardhan Puja and Vishwakarma Day. According to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) holiday calendar, branches of State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Punjab National Bank and other public and private sector lenders will remain shut in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Tripura, Sikkim, Manipur and Chandigarh. However, banks will operate normally in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata.

The November 9 bank holiday will affect customers in cities including Lucknow, Kanpur, Jaipur, Bhopal, Raipur, Agartala, Gangtok and Imphal, where regular branch services will not be available. The closure is not nationwide, as the RBI’s holiday schedule varies according to regional festivals and observances.

In Maharashtra, banks will remain open on Monday, November 9, but will be closed on Tuesday, November 10, for Bali Pratipada and other Diwali-related celebrations. Branches in Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur will therefore operate today before the next scheduled holiday. Several other cities, including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru and Dehradun, will also observe bank holidays on November 10.

While physical branches will remain closed in the notified locations, UPI payments, ATMs, internet banking and mobile banking services are expected to remain available. Customers requiring cheque-related services, document verification or other branch-dependent transactions may have to wait until the next working day..

Bank Holiday Today, November 9: Full List of States Where Banks Are Closed

Banks will remain closed in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Tripura, Sikkim, Manipur and Chandigarh on Monday.

The closures affect major banking centres including Lucknow, Kanpur, Jaipur, Bhopal, Raipur, Agartala, Gangtok and Imphal. Branches of SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda and other lenders in these locations will not provide regular counter services.

Meanwhile, bank branches in Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Pune are scheduled to operate normally.

The difference in holiday dates is due to regional observances of Diwali, Laxmi Puja, Govardhan Puja and other festivals. The RBI publishes bank holidays based on state-specific celebrations, so a holiday in one city does not necessarily apply elsewhere.

Bank Holidays on November 10 and 11

The Diwali holiday schedule will continue in several states over the next two days.

On Tuesday, November 10, banks are scheduled to remain closed in Mumbai, Nagpur, Belapur, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Dehradun and Gangtok for festivals including Bali Pratipada, Govardhan Puja and the Vikram Samvat New Year.

On Wednesday, November 11, bank holidays are scheduled in Lucknow, Kanpur, Kolkata, Imphal, Gangtok and Shimla for regional festivals including Bhai Dooj, Chitragupt Jayanti and Ningol Chakkouba.

The next nationwide weekend closures fall on Saturday, November 14, which is the second Saturday of the month, and Sunday, November 15.

Customers with branch-dependent transactions should plan around these dates, particularly in locations where holidays fall on successive days.

Will UPI, ATMs and Online Banking Work Today?

The November 9 bank holiday will not generally affect UPI payments, ATM withdrawals, mobile banking or internet banking.

Customers can continue using supported digital services to transfer money, pay bills, check account balances and manage routine transactions. NEFT and RTGS services also operate throughout the week, subject to normal technical availability.

However, transactions requiring bank staff, including certain cheque-related requests, document verification, demand drafts and locker access, may have to wait until the next working day.

Customers should check the holiday status of their specific branch before visiting, as bank closures during the Diwali period vary by location.
