All Public Sector Banks and Regional Rural Banks will function on Sunday, September 27, 2026, following approval from the Reserve Bank of India. The move comes ahead of a three-day nationwide strike by the United Forum of Bank Unions from September 28 to 30, which follows the weekend holidays on September 26 and 27. The Finance Ministry said the decision aims to prevent prolonged disruption and ensure customers can access essential banking services. RBI approval covers bank branches, offices, ATM-linked branches and currency chests. The government and bank managements have also appealed to unions to defer the planned strike. The strike is primarily linked to demands for a five-day banking workweek. (PC: X)
