Banks Holiday Today: October 11, 2025 — Second Saturday Holiday

 - Sakshi Post

On Saturday, October 11, all the banks in India are closed today since it is the second Saturday of the month. Banks nationwide follow the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations, which stipulate that they take their second and fourth Saturdays along with every Sunday as part of their daily offs.

This means that banking services—both in public and private sector banks—will not be available today, whether you’re in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, or any other major city. Customers are advised to plan their bank visits and transactions accordingly.

Apart from these weekly offs, banks also remain closed on national holidays and region-specific festivals as per the RBI’s official holiday calendar.

When Is the Next Bank Holiday?

Following today's closure on the second Saturday, the following bank holiday would take place tomorrow, Sunday, October 12, when all banks will once more be closed across the nation for the weekly Sunday off.
