Nationwide bank strike is set to disrupt services from September 28 to 30, potentially causing a five-day delay in banking operations. This follows a weekend holiday and comes as banks close for their mid-year review. The strike, called by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) representing 90% of bank staff, demands introduction of 5-day banking.
Government representatives stated they are considering five-day banking, but need to weigh in other stakeholder views first. Customers advised to complete branch-dependent tasks before the strike, use digital channels like mobile banking, ATMs, internet banking, BC points, UPI, and avoid in-person visits during the proposed disruption. The strike could impact businesses, government transactions, and international banking operations.
