New Delhi : Services at public sector banks may take a hit on Tuesday as all unions under the aegis of UFBU have threatened to go on strike against the government's proposed consolidation move besides raising a host of other demands. Most banks have already informed their customers that functioning of branches and offices will be impacted if the strike takes off.

Operations at private lenders like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank are expected to be normal except delay in cheque clearances. The United Forum of Bank Unions is an umbrella body of nine unions, including All India Bank Officers' Confederation, All India Bank Employees Association and National Organisation of Bank Workers.
