Karnataka Grameen Bank Employees Announce Strike on 22 and 23 October 2026

Karnataka Grameen Bank Employees have announced a two-day strike on 22 and 23 October 2026. The demands of employees have not been fulfilled yet and employees are facing difficulties in day-to-day banking operations.

Timely recruitment and promotions are still not being carried out in accordance with the Mitra Committee recommendations approved by the Government of India.

Several Regional Managers constantly harass branch staff. The association has raised this issue several times, but still no action has been taken. The transfers of staff are also not being carried out in a transparent manner. Promotion Interviews are also not being conducted timely.

Mandatory Leave Policy of the Bank, which is applicable in all banks, has still not been introduced in Karnataka Grameen Bank. Employees have been requesting the Bank to absorb tax on perquisites, but the Bank has still not done so, while all other banks have absorbed tax on perquisites.

Despite the efforts of the association, the management has failed to redress these issues. Thus, the Karnataka Grameena Bank Employees Union & Officers Association have announced a 2-day strike on 22 and 23 October 2026. The schedule of the strike is as follows:
