Bank unions have called a three-day strike from September 28 to 30, which may hit branch services. It follows the weekend of September 26 and 27, so some branches could stay shut for five days. The Finance Ministry is meeting public sector bank chiefs to plan essential services. Banks like SBI have asked customers to finish urgent work early and use ATMs.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The three-day strike has been called by the United Forum of Bank Unions, which says it represents 90% of officers and employees.
- The unions are demanding a five-day banking week, along with better pension, a uniform dearness allowance formula for pensioners and an option for NPS employees to move to the old pension scheme.
- The strike comes right after the weekend of September 26 and 27 and also coincides with the banking sector's half-year closing.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Try to finish any urgent banking work such as cheque clearing, cash deposits or loan payments before September 28, and plan to use ATMs, Automated Deposit and Withdrawal Machines or customer service points for your cash needs during the strike days.
