As the day begins, bank customers are curious to know whether they should plan their bank-related work today. For those seeking a clarity on bank operations on 10 January must note that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) provides annual holiday calendar which mentions the key dates on which banks will remain closed. It is important to note that banks are not open on all Saturdays in a month and RBI lists some state-specific bank holidays.
As per RBI guidelines, banks in India are closed on second and fourth Saturdays of the month. This implies that banks open on the first and third Saturdays in a month unless specified as a holiday in the RBI calendar. Since, 10 January is a second Saturday, banks will be closed today.

In the last five sessions, the Sensex crashed 2.5%, by about 2,186 points while the Nifty 50 fell by 2.5% as investors became wary of riskier equities. The downward trend of the Indian stock market comes in the wake of growing concerns over fresh tariffs.

The next hearing for the case challenging the legality of Trump’s sweeping global tariffs set for 14 January.
