Mint 1 hr ago·26 Oct 2026, 1:44 am
Public and private sector banks, including PNB, will remain closed on 26 October. This holiday is observed to mark Laxmi Puja, a significant festival for the banking sector. Additionally, the day is also recognized as the Accession Day of Jammu and Kashmir and the birthday of Maharishi Valmiki.
For investors holding PNB shares, this closure means that no trading or settlements will take place on this specific date. While the stock market itself is closed for trading, the closure of bank branches does not directly impact the trading of shares on the stock exchange.
Investors should plan their transactions accordingly. Since the bank branches are shut, any physical banking activities or document submissions will need to be rescheduled to the next working day. This ensures that all financial operations remain uninterrupted despite the holiday.
