  "account": "On November 9, 2026, many banks in select states of India will observe Diwali/Laxmi Puja (Deepawali)/Govardhan Pooja/Vishwakarma Day, resulting in closures for banking operations. These states include Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Tripura, Chandigarh, Sikkim, and Manipur. However, banks in all other states and union territories will remain open for regular business. Therefore, customers in these selected states should verify whether their local bank branches are closed before planning to visit for cash deposits, withdrawals, or other related services.",
