State Bank of India (SBI) customers planning their Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) transactions during the proposed three-day nationwide bank strike from September 28 to September 30, 2026, will receive some relief as the bank has waived charges for the three days, as per its tweet on X (formerly Twitter).
SBI has also reiterated that all its bank branches will remain open during the proposed three-day bank strike.
Even as leading bank employee unions say that they would go with the three-day strike and will ask bank employees not to attend their offices on Sunday, the government has directed all Public Sector Banks (PSBs) and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) to remain open on Sunday, September 27.
SBI ATM charges waived from September 28 to 30
In a social media post on X, SBI said on Thursday that ATM transaction charges would be waived for transactions made through ATMs of any bank in the country during the September 28-30 bank strike.
This means customers can use ATMs for their cash requirements during the three-day period without having to worry about the applicable ATM transaction charges covered under the waiver scheme.
Customers should, however, check their bank's communication for the exact terms and conditions of the waiver.
SBI customers can use ATM and digital banking services
State Bank of India has advised its customers to complete important branch-related transactions before the proposed strike and use digital and self-service banking channels wherever possible.
