Bank Holiday on October 26: Branches Closed in Five Indian Cities

Bank customers should check their local holiday schedules before visiting a branch on Monday, October 26, 2026. According to the information provided, bank branches will remain closed in five cities: Agartala for Lakshmi Puja, Chandigarh and Shimla for Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti, and Jammu and Srinagar for Accession Day. These are location-specific holidays, so bank operations may continue as usual in other parts of the country. Customers in Bengaluru are also expected to have normal banking services on this date, based on the reported holiday calendar.

Although branches may be closed in the affected cities, digital banking services such as mobile and internet banking, UPI payments, ATM cash withdrawals and online fund transfers are generally expected to remain available. However, some services may experience temporary interruptions due to maintenance or technical issues. Customers who need in-person services, document submissions or other branch-based transactions should confirm the holiday with their bank and plan ahead.
