Bank strike: From deposits, withdrawals to cheque clearance, how the protest hit the public
Bank strike: The nation-wide strike organised by a union of public sector bank officers, demanding immediate wage revision, partially impacted banking operations across the country, but private sector banks like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and others continued to provide their services as usual.

One-day strike: All India Bank Officers' Confederation
Bank strike holidays
Taking into account these two days of unions' strike and other holidays, banks will remain closed for most of the extended Christmas weekend. So, most branches will be open only for a day between this Friday and next Wednesday. Till December 26, there are three holidays -- fourth Saturday on December 22, then Sunday and then Christmas on Tuesday. (Reuters)
