SBI Issues Key Advisory Ahead of Bank Strike

The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) has called for a nationwide bank strike from September 28 to 30 over various pending demands of bank employees. Ahead of the proposed strike, State Bank of India (SBI) has issued an advisory to customers, asking them to make alternative arrangements as branch services could be disrupted. SBI has advised customers to use ATMs, deposit vending machines and customer service points for urgent cash requirements.

SBI said internet banking, YONO, mobile banking, UPI and other digital services would continue to remain available. The UFBU had earlier observed a nationwide strike on September 11 over demands including a five-day banking week. The unions have also announced an indefinite strike from October 26 if their demands remain unresolved after the September 28-30 strike.
