Public sector banks across the country are planning to go on strike near the end of the month, on November 26.2020

  • Public sector banks across the country are planning to go on strike near the end of the month, on November 26.
  • This will be the 20th national-wide general strike since 1991.
  • One of the seven demands laid out by the Central Trade Unions (CTUs) is to increase the rate of interest that customers are currently offered on savings deposits and reduce bank charges levied on the common customer.
  • Public sectors banks across India are planning to go on strike on November 26. While their protests range from the privatisation of banks to outsourcing of jobs — one of their demands includes increasing the rate of interest that customers are currently offered on deposits and reducing bank charges, which bodes well for the customer.

    However, this comes at a time when the interest rate on saving deposits is higher than what customers can get by locking their money into a fixed deposit.

    The aim of the strike is to the “put up a resistance to the destructive approach of ruling government at the centre being manifested to the country and its people at large,” as per the Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI) notification.

    The All India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA) further clarified that the nation-wide strike is against the “anti-economic policies, anti-worker labour policies and anti-farmer legislations in the country.

    2. Strengthen public sector banks
    3. Take stringent measures against willful loan defaulters and recover the huge corporate NPAs still pending
    4. Increase interest rate of bank deposits and reduce bank charges levied on customers
    5. Stop outsourcing of regular bank jobs and regularise casual workers engaged by different banks
