Public Sector Banking services may be disrupted today 'Strike'

Public sector banking operations across India are likely to be disrupted on Tuesday, January 27, following a nationwide strike call by bank employee unions demanding immediate implementation of a five-day workweek.

Private sector banks, however, are expected to function as usual. The strike was announced on January 23 by the United Forum of Bank



Unions (UFBU), an umbrella body representing nine major bank unions across public sector banks and some old-generation private banks. 

Since the UFBU largely represents public sector employees, private banks such as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and others are not part of the strike and are likely to remain unaffected.
