The Finance Ministry has announced that all Public Sector Banks and Regional Rural Banks will remain open on Sunday, September 27, 2026, to ensure uninterrupted banking services. The decision comes ahead of a proposed three-day nationwide bank strike from September 28 to 30 called by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU). The RBI has approved the operation of bank branches, offices, ATM-link branches and currency chests on Sunday. The government and bank managements have also appealed to unions to defer the strike. The move aims to prevent disruption to customers’ essential banking needs during the extended holiday period. (PC: The Hindu)
