Banks to keep branches open Sunday before 3-day strike
In short
Public banks, regional rural banks and old private banks are keeping branches open on Sunday before a 3-day nationwide strike. The ministry said the RBI approved full operations for branches, offices, ATM-linked branches and currency chests on September.
This matters because customers may still be able to use banking services before the strike. The report does not give the exact date or say whether every bank is covered in the same way.
