Banks to Close for 4 Days: ATMs May Run Dry Amidst Strike Threat and Holidays

  • Banks will be closed for four consecutive days from January 24th to January 27th due to official holidays and a potential strike.
  • The closures include the fourth Saturday (Jan 24), Sunday (Jan 25), Republic Day (Jan 26), and a possible strike on Jan 27.
  • The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) is pushing for a five-day work week, citing increased work pressure and family responsibilities.
  • Customers may face delays in check clearance, cash shortages at ATMs, and inability to complete branch-related tasks.
  • It is advised to withdraw cash in advance and complete urgent banking tasks before the closures to avoid inconvenience.

Why It Matters: Prepare for bank closures and potential ATM cash shortages from January 24-27 due to holidays and a strike threat.
