What happened
The government announced that all Public Sector Banks and Regional Rural Banks would operate normally on Sunday, September 27, 2026. This decision was made in light of a proposed nationwide bank strike by the United Forum of Bank Unions from September 28 to September 30, 2026. The Reserve Bank of India granted approval for these banks to remain fully operational on that Sunday.
