Several banks across India are closed today, Thursday, April 10, 2025, on account of Mahavir Jayanti, which commemorates the birth of Lord Mahavir, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism. The day is observed as a public holiday in many states.
However, Mahavir Jayanti is not a pan-India bank holiday under the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) official list. This means bank closures vary by state, and operations may still continue in regions where the festival is not a designated holiday.
