Nationwide three-day bank strike by UFBU begins on September 28

A nationwide three-day bank strike called by the United Forum of Bank Unions is set to run from September 28 to September 30, coinciding with quarter-end closings.

Private lenders like HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank will remain functional, whereas public sector lenders such as SBI may experience operational disruptions and potential salary processing delays.

Key demands of the union include the implementation of a five-day banking week alongside changes to pension benefits and service-related issues.
