SBI flags possible disruption as unions serve strike notices
SBI says bank unions have issued notices for strikes in September and October. The bank has arranged for services to continue, but says work could still be affected.
State Bank of India said on Monday that it had received strike notices covering September 11, September 28 to 30, and a continuous strike beginning October 26. These are the dates covered by the notices; the report does not establish how much disruption will occur.
The bank said arrangements were in place to keep its branches and offices functioning normally. At the same time, it cautioned that those measures might not prevent an impact on work across SBI. Its statement therefore signals a possibility of disruption, rather than confirming that every branch will be closed.
The September notices cover a single day and a separate three-day period. The proposed action starting October 26 is described as continuous, with no end date stated in the supplied report. No year is specified for any of the dates.
The report does not identify the unions involved or explain their demands. It also gives no details about likely staff participation, the locations that could be affected, or which services might face delays. Customers and employees therefore do not yet have a branch-level picture of the possible impact.
