Bank Holiday News: The country’s largest public sector bank, State Bank of India (SBI), has issued an important advisory for its customers. The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) has announced a nationwide bank strike from midnight on January 26, 2026, to midnight on January 27, 2026. This strike is primarily aimed at demanding a five-day work week, including holidays on all Saturdays, and improvements to banking services.

The UFBU, an umbrella organization of nine major bank employees’ and officers’ unions, took this decision after negotiations with the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) failed. The strike will primarily impact January 27, 2026 (Tuesday), when most bank branches may remain closed. It’s worth noting that the preceding holidays are already observed for January 24 (fourth Saturday), January 25 (Sunday), and January 26 (Republic Day).

Customers will face difficulties

With banking services disrupted for four consecutive days (January 24th to 27th), customers may face significant inconvenience in cash withdrawals, check clearing, loan processing, and other branch-based services. While SBI has clarified that it will make every effort to ensure essential services continue during the strike, customers are advised to prepare in advance to avoid inconvenience.

SBI’s advice to customers:

• Use ATMs and ADWMs for cash needs.
• Use your nearest Customer Service Points (CSPs).
• Prioritize Internet Banking, the YONO app, Mobile Banking, UPI, and other digital means for banking purposes.
• SBI has stated that it regrets any inconvenience caused by the strike and has appealed to customers for cooperation and understanding.
