Indian Banks' Association

The strike comes immediately after this weekend, meaning in-person banking may potentially be disrupted for five consecutive days.

The United Forum of Bank Unions, said the Indian Banks Association, agreed to a five-day banking week as part of a March 2024 wage settlement.

Under that agreement, employees would work an additional 40 minutes each workday, though government approval remains pending.

Monday's three-day action follows a nationwide strike over the same issue back in late January.
