UCO Bank strike notice: The bank informed exchanges in a BSE filing dated September 10, 2026, that the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) had served notice of proposed strikes in September and a continuous strike from October 26, 2026. The bank said its branches and offices may be affected if the proposed action materialises.

UFBU issued the notice on behalf of seven constituent unions and associations. The proposed action covers a single-day strike, a separate three-day period and continuous action beginning in October, according to the disclosure.

UCO Bank said it had taken necessary steps to ensure continuity of operations. However, it qualified that assurance with a warning about possible disruption to the functioning of its branches and offices.

Dates listed in the UFBU strike notice

The filing sets out the following schedule for the proposed industrial action:

  • September 11, 2026: A strike on this date.
  • September 28–30, 2026: A strike over the three-day period.
  • October 26, 2026, onwards: A continuous strike beginning on this date.

The notice does not specify an end date for the continuous strike. UCO Bank described the action as proposed and made its operational warning conditional on the strike taking place. The disclosure therefore does not confirm that branches will close on the listed dates.

The bank attributed the proposed strikes to various issues and demands. It did not provide details of those issues or demands in the filing.

Unions covered and exchange disclosure

The seven UFBU constituent unions and associations named in the notice are AIBEA, AIBOC, NCBE, AIBOA, BEFI, INBOC and INBEF.

UCO Bank submitted the information under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Company Secretary Vikash Gupta signed the disclosure, which was addressed to BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India.

The bank is identified in the filing by BSE scrip code 532505 and NSE symbol UCOBANK. The disclosure does not quantify any financial impact or identify particular branches, offices or services that could face disruption.
