Another bank union, United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) has given a call for strike on December 26. The UFBu has called for a strike against the bank merger and the IBA’s revised offer of 8 per cent pay hike.

In the wake of strikes and holidays, the banks will remain closed from next Friday to Wednesday, except Monday and the banking services could adversely be affected on these days.
