FinMin calls PSB, RRB chiefs' meet on Monday to ensure services amid strike
The Finance Ministry has called a Monday meeting with heads of public sector and regional rural banks. Bank unions plan a three-day nationwide strike from September 28, which could disrupt services for five days because of the weekend. It affects bank customers and the half-yearly closing work of banks. Plan your banking early and keep a backup payment option ready.

- The Finance Ministry has called a Monday meeting of public sector and regional rural bank chiefs to plan how banking operations and essential customer services will continue during the strike.
