Bank Holiday on October 10: A number of private and public banks in India will be closed on October 10 to commemorate Maha Saptami. For the day, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced bank holidays in designated states, which is a significant component of the Durga Puja celebrations.

Banks in Tripura, Assam, Nagaland, and West Bengal will be closed on October 10 in honour of Durga Puja/Dussehra, while banks in other areas will operate as usual. Maha Saptami Maha Puja (Maha Puja) begins on the seventh day of Durga Puja and is an important day of the 10-day festival.

According to mythology, Goddess Durga began her battle against the demon king Mahisasura on this day.
Even if bank branches are closed in these states, critical banking services like online banking, UPI, ATMs, and mobile applications will continue to function fully.
