Bank Holiday: Are banks closed in your state on October 26? Find out the schedule for your city—including Delhi, UP, and Bihar—to ensure your tasks aren't left pending.

Bank Holiday: If you are planning to visit a bank tomorrow, Monday, October 26, be sure to check if there is a bank holiday in your state before you leave home. You wouldn't want to arrive at the bank for an important task only to find it closed. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) holiday list, banks will remain closed in some states tomorrow, while operations will continue as usual in others.

This means that tomorrow is not a bank holiday across the entire country. The closures are due to festivals and special occasions observed in specific states. Therefore, if you need to visit a branch to deposit money, handle cheque-related matters, or attend to other urgent business, it is advisable to check the holiday status beforehand.

In which states will bank branches remain closed tomorrow?

Jammu & Kashmir: Bank branches will be closed for Accession Day.
Chandigarh: Banks will remain closed for Maharshi Valmiki Jayanti.

Will banks remain open in Delhi, UP, and Bihar?
