Bank employees across India are set to go on strike on September 11, after the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) announced a nationwide shutdown call. The strike stems from mounting frustration over the delayed rollout of five-day banking, unresolved disagreements around the performance-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, and a backlog of other demands, including issues tied to pension reforms. With talks apparently stalled on these fronts, UFBU has moved to escalate the standoff through direct industrial action, signaling that banking services could face disruption on the day of the strike.
