Bank strike September 28-30: SBI advises customers to complete work in advance, check available services
The bank union have proposed strike on September 28, 29 and 30. These dates coincide with the September 26-27 weekend.
From September 28 to 30, 2026, the State Bank of India (SBI) faced the prospect of a nationwide three-day bank strike, which was later confirmed. To prepare for this disruption, SBI issued a customer advisory urging customers to complete any necessary branch-related tasks before the strike began. The strike, led by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), would cause five consecutive days of banking service disruptions, as September 26 and 27 fell on the fourth Saturday and Sunday.
UFBU, which includes nine bank employees’ and officers’ unions, demanded a four-point charter of demands, including a five-day banking week that was allegedly promised in 2024. Despite facing potential service interruptions, SBI assured that essential banking services would be provided during the strike, encouraging customers to utilize ATMs/ADWMs for emergency cash needs and informing them that customer service points would remain operational.
The UFBU continued to push for further improvements such as the modernization of pension systems and uniform dearness allowances for pensioners.
