Bank Services Disrupted by Nationwide Strike and National Holiday
· Business · Times of India, India Today
Bank customers in India may face service disruptions this week due to a combination of a three-day nationwide strike and the Gandhi Jayanti national holiday. The United Forum of Bank Unions has called for a strike from September 28 to September 30, which is expected to affect over-the-counter banking operations. Additionally, all bank branches will remain closed on October 2 for the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. While physical branch services will be unavailable, digital platforms such as UPI, net banking, mobile apps, and ATMs will remain operational for essential transactions. Customers are advised to check the RBI's state-wise holiday calendar to confirm specific branch availability.
Why it matters
The strike and holiday closure will limit access to in-person banking services, requiring customers to rely on digital channels for their financial needs.
