Is Your Salary Credited At Month-End? 2-Day Bank Strike From Today

The 2-day bank strike could impact withdrawal and cash deposit in the branches of public sector banks.


  • UFBU has notified 48-hour-kong strike starting at 6:00 am on May 30
  • SBI has warned that strike could impact operations
  • Bank employee unions against 2% wage hike offered by IBA
Banking operations could be hit as nearly 10 lakh employees of state-run banks go on a two-day strike starting today, to press for wage hikes. 21 public sector banks control 75 per cent of the total business in the country. Withdrawal and cash deposit in the branches of public sector banks would be affected. The month-end strike comes at a time when many employers process the salaries of staff. However, the functioning of private banks like ICICI, HDFC Bank, Axis and Kotak Mahindra is expected to be normal except for delays in cheque clearances. Some banks have already warned of the strike impacting their banking operations.

SBI, the country's largest bank, in a statement to exchanges on May 21 said that the strike is likely to impact operations to some extent. The strike might disrupt the normal banking services at branches of our bank, said Ravindra P Marathe, MD of Bank of Maharashtra.

The digital banking facilities will however remain open. "Hence, we urge our customers to make the maximum use of digital banking services like UPI, MahaMobile app, internet banking facilities for their transactions. We have ensured that our digital banking systems and ATMs (for those who need cash) are available at all times for the convenience of our customers," he added

Bank employee unions have been opposing a 2 per cent wage hike proposed by the IBA or Indian Banks' Association, among other demands. Several rounds of talks between banks and the unions of their employees have failed to make any headway so far.

Bank union leader Ashok Gupta told  that talks between the group of bank unions and the banks' association failed on Monday. He said the IBA refused to discuss their demands. The official further said that bank unions are not ready to accept a wage hike below 14-15 per cent. The wage revision has been due since November 1, 2017. In the last wage revision in 2012, employees had received a wage rise of 15 per cent, news agency Press Trust of India cited West Bengal convenor of UFBU Siddhartha Khan as saying.

United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) is an umbrella body of bank unions including All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC), National Confederation of Bank Employees (NCBE), All India Bank Officers Association (AIBOA) and Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI).

Get Extra UC In PUBG When You Purchase Using Paytm.

  Paytm has up with Tencent Games to give users extra UC, PUBG Mobile’s in-game currency, when you buy UC using Paytm. The offer was revealed in an email from the company, and it lets you buy UC from the official PUBG Mobile website using your Paytm account. Once you visit the link, just enter you in-game ID which is seen in your profile, and you will be able to add UC to your PUBG Mobile account. This method gives you a few more UC than what you get for the same amount in the game. For example, you can get 75 UC for Rs 79 using Paytm as seen below, while the in-game purchase only gives you 60 UC for the same price. For larger purchases, Paytm is giving even more bonus UC – you can get extra 110 UC using Paytm when buying the Rs 799 pack, which gives you enough UC to buy the Royale Pass.
