The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) will observe a nationwide bank strike from September 28 to 30, 2026, after talks with authorities failed to resolve key demands. The unions are primarily seeking implementation of a five-day banking week, along with changes concerning performance-linked incentives and other pending service issues. The strike could disrupt branch-based services such as cash deposits and withdrawals, cheque clearing and account-related work, particularly in public-sector banks. Digital services, including UPI, internet and mobile banking, and ATMs are expected to continue operating. Public-sector and regional rural banks were also directed to open on September 27 to help customers.
