The bank notified its clients via a message about the upcoming three-day strike, which will begin on September 28th. The strike announcement was made by the Union of Banks Forums (UFBU).
The strike is scheduled for September 28, 29, and 30, 2026. In connection with this, Punjab National Bank (PNB) sent text messages to customers on Tuesday evening containing important information for user convenience.
PNB advised customers to complete all necessary branch operations before September 25th to avoid inconvenience during the strike.
PNB stated in the message that efforts would be made to maintain access to services such as UPI, internet banking, and ATMs. Furthermore, the bank will try to continue providing services to business correspondents.
There are several operations requiring a visit to a bank branch that may be affected by the strike. These include cash deposits or withdrawals, cheque-related transactions, document submission, and KYC procedures.
The impact of the strike might be prolonged because September 26th falls on a Saturday and September 27th on a Sunday. Consequently, due to the strike from September 28th to 30th, bank branches may remain closed for five days. Punjab National Bank is a well-known bank in India, serving millions of customers across the country.
