Nationwide Bank Strike: Essential Services to Face Disruptions Starting Monday
A nationwide three-day bank strike called by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) is set to disrupt banking operations across India, primarily affecting public sector and old-generation private banks.
During this period, over-the-counter cash deposits, withdrawals, passbook updates, manual cheque clearing, and physical branch services will face significant hurdles.
Customers visiting branches for loan processing or locker access may also experience delays.
Fortunately, digital banking remains unaffected. Unified Payments Interface (UPI), mobile banking applications, and internet banking portals will operate seamlessly.
ATMs and Cash Deposit Machines will stay accessible for cash needs, subject to regular cash replenishment.
Additionally, new-generation private banks like HDFC, ICICI, and Axis will keep their branches open normally.
The strike is driven by employee demands for a five-day workweek and pension reforms. Customers are advised to rely on digital channels for urgent transactions to avoid inconvenience.
