Three-day nationwide bank strike begins over five-day banking demand
The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) has called a nationwide three-day bank strike from September 28 to 30, 2026. The action is expected to affect operations at public sector banks and other participating institutions. The principal demands include implementation of a five-day banking week and withdrawal of the Performance Linked Incentive scheme. The strike follows the weekend holidays of September 26 and 27, potentially extending disruption to banking services. Digital payment systems, including UPI, may continue to function, although branch-based services could be affected. The government and the Reserve Bank of India took precautionary measures by keeping public sector banks and Regional Rural Banks operational on September 27.
