Public Sector Banks and Regional Rural Banks will remain fully operational this Sunday, September 27, 2026, to assist customers ahead of a proposed three-day nationwide strike. The United Forum of Bank Unions has called for the strike from September 28 to 30 to demand a five-day workweek and other benefits. The Reserve Bank of India has approved the operation of all branches, offices, and currency chests for the Sunday session. The Department of Financial Services advised customers to complete essential transactions before the strike begins to avoid potential service disruptions.
Why it matters
The decision ensures that banking services remain accessible to the public during the half-yearly closing period, mitigating the impact of the upcoming union-led strike.
