Three-Days Bank Strike in Gujarat

 

Banks across Gujarat are set to observe a three-day strike from September 11, 2026. Around 5,400 bank branches across the state are expected to remain closed during the strike. The shutdown is likely to affect banking operations and may impact transactions worth approximately ₹15,000 crore.

The strike is expected to affect customers who depend on physical bank branches for services such as cash-related transactions and other counter services. Customers may therefore need to use digital banking facilities wherever possible during the strike period.
