The largest union of bank employees, UFBU has called for a 3-day nationwide strike from September 28 to 30. The work of the bank will be completely stopped due to this strike.

How about 5 consecutive days off?
Many people may think that there is a 3 day strike, but how come banks are closed for 5 days? So that's the reason.
- September 26, Saturday: Being the fourth Saturday of the month, banks are closed.
- September 27, Sunday: Regular holiday on Sunday.
- September 28, 29, 30, Monday to Wednesday: 3-day strike by bank employees.
No one will be in the bank branch for 5 consecutive days from Saturday to Wednesday. So if you want to go to the bank and do some work, it will not happen.
SBI What did you say?
SBI, the largest bank in the country, has said that we will try our best to continue the service during the strike. But if more employees go on strike, it is difficult to work in the branch. Especially the tasks like depositing of cheques, clearing of cheques, taking new loans, verification of documents, drawing of DDs which require a bank man will get bogged down. They will be late. So the bank has said that you should complete all your work within 26th. Don't wait for the last minute. Bank Strike September 2026:
