Public sector lender Canara Bank on Thursday said that banking services may get affected later this month due to the proposed strike by several bank unions.
"We have been informed by the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) that the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) has given a call for strike in the banking industry on March 15 and March 16, for issues relating to industry level and not for any bank level issues," Canara Bank said in a regulatory filing.
