Several public sector banks in India have announced temporary waivers of ATM charges from September 28 to 30 in response to a proposed nationwide bank strike, which could disrupt branch services. The United Forum of Bank Unions is calling for the strike over demands such as a five-day banking week. Banks are urging customers to use ATMs and digital platforms to meet their banking needs during the proposed industrial action.
State Bank of India (SBI) and Punjab National Bank (PNB) are among the banks waiving ATM withdrawal charges across the country during the strike period. SBI encourages customers to access essential banking services through ATMs, YONO, Mobile Banking, Internet Banking, WhatsApp Banking, and 24×7 Contact Centre services. Other banks like Bank of Baroda, Union Bank of India, and Indian Bank have also announced similar waivers.
Despite the potential strike, all public sector banks and regional rural banks will operate normally on Sunday, September 27, following RBI approval for banks to function on that day.
