Banks to remain closed for 4 consecutive days from 26 to 29 September!

September 17: Transactions across all banks always is on the rise just before Durga Puja. However, there seems to be a twist in the tale this year. Banking services across the country might be hit on the eve of Durga Puja as four Officers’ Associations- AIBOC, AIBOA, INBOC and NOBO representing nearly entire officers’ fraternity of banking industry have launched a series of agitation against the Government’s proposal of merger of Public Sector Banks.

The four unions of nationalised banks have warned of a strike  from midnight of 25 to midnight of 27 September 2019 followed by an indefinite strike from second week of November 2019, in case there is no positive response from the appropriate authority.

This means if the strike takes place, the banks will remain closed on 26 & 27 September, 2019. The next day, that is, 28 September is a fourth Saturday and hence banks will normally remain closed on that day and as 29 September is Sunday, so obviously banks will ofcourse remain closed. That means, in case of the strike, banking services will remain suspended for four consecutive days from 26 September to 29 September, 2019.
