Banks to remain open on Sunday for customers’ convenience in view of proposed nationwide strike
India's banks will stay open on Sunday to aid customers despite a three‑day nationwide strike by the United Forum of Bank Unions beginning September 28. The union seeks a five‑day workweek and other demands. The Sunday opening aims to ensure essential banking services continue while negotiations proceed. The three‑day walkout is intended to pressure employers, and officials hope the Sunday schedule will minimise inconvenience for public.
