State Level Bankers Committee Issues Advisory for September 25 Deadline

The advisory arrives after the United Forum of Bank Unions announced the countrywide shutdown. It highlights that branch operations could be disrupted based on employee participation, and therefore all critical banking work – including cheque issuance, demand drafts and account closures – should be wrapped up before September 25. The SLBC also notes that the Ministry of Finance has assured normal functioning of government‑owned and regional rural banks on September 27.
