  "account": "To determine whether banks are open or closed in your state today, Monday, October 26, 2026, it is important to check if your state is included in the list of those observing the specified bank holidays. According to the RBI, banks will be closed in Tripura, Chandigarh, Jammu, Srinagar, and Himachal Pradesh today due to Laxmi Puja, Accession Day, and Maharishi Valmiki’s Birthday, as applicable.\n\nFor other states, banks will follow the standard schedule with public holidays on the second and fourth Saturdays. On October 26, 2026, the second Saturday falls on October 23, and the fourth Saturday falls on October 30, 2026. Therefore, if your state does not observe any specific holidays today, banks in your area will likely be open for normal operations.\n\nHowever, if you are located in Tripura, Chandigarh, Jammu, Srinagar, or Himachal Pradesh, it is recommended to plan your bank visit accordingly, as these locations will be closed for physical operations today. Otherwise, you can continue using digital banking services such as online banking, mobile banking apps, and Unified Payments Interface (UPI) for most routine transactions.",
