On April 9, 2026, legislative assembly elections will take place in multiple states across India, including Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry. In these areas, banks are anticipated to close in accordance with election-related holiday norms, allowing citizens to participate in voting without hindrance. However, banking services such as ATMs and online banking will still be available. The Reserve Bank of India has not yet confirmed the holiday status for banks in these states. Additionally, central government offices in notified areas will also close on polling day, as per the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions. Employees who are voters in the relevant constituencies may be granted special casual leave. Voters in Goa, Karnataka, Nagaland, and Tripura will also have bye-elections on March 15, 2026, and should check with their local banks for specific holiday details.
