Public sector and regional rural banks will remain open on Sunday, September 27, following a directive from the Ministry of Finance and Reserve Bank of India approval.
The special working day aims to safeguard banking needs during a proposed three-day nationwide strike called by the United Forum of Bank Unions from September 28 to 30.
The striking unions are pressing for a five-day banking week, pension updates, and an option for employees to switch to the old pension scheme.
