Bank of Dave: I started my business with £0
Confirmed
In Short: Customers may face disruptions in branch-based banking services as a nationwide strike by bank unions coincides with holidays.
A nationwide strike called by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) has led to potential disruptions in branch-based banking services across India starting Friday, September 11, 2026.
Several major public sector banks, including State Bank of India (SBI), Punjab National Bank (PNB), UCO Bank, Indian Bank, and Bank of Maharashtra, have issued advisories warning customers about possible service interruptions.
The strike is expected to impact public sector banks more, although the extent of disruption may vary by bank and location. In addition, bank branches will remain closed on September 14 for Ganesh Chaturthi, with some locations observing an additional holiday on September 15.
The UFBU, an umbrella body representing major bank employee and officer unions, has been pressing for the implementation of a five-day banking week and changes to the government's Performance Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme.
SBI has made arrangements to ensure normal functioning of branches and offices, but also cautioned that banking work could be affected by the proposed strike. Customers are advised to check with their individual branches before visiting.
