Pune Bank Strike Sept 28: Home Loan EMIs, Property Deals Hit

2026-09-26 · GeoSquare News Scraper

Pune, 25 September 2026: A statewide bank strike from 28 September is set to disrupt offline banking services in Pune, including cheque clearing and manual RTGS transactions. For homebuyers and property investors, this could mean delays in loan disbursements, EMI payments, and registration-related payments.

Impact on Property Transactions

Property registrations often involve high-value demand drafts and cheque payments. With clearing services halted, transactions scheduled around the strike may face temporary setbacks. Buyers are advised to complete digital transfers where possible and confirm receipt with sellers.

Home Loan EMIs and Disbursements

Existing borrowers should ensure their EMI accounts have sufficient balance before the strike, as auto-debit may still function but manual payments could be affected. New loan disbursements may be delayed, impacting possession timelines for under-construction projects.

Sunday Banking to Ease Disruption

Banks plan to open select branches on Sunday to handle urgent transactions. However, customers should check with their specific branch for availability and services offered.

Advisory for Buyers and Investors

Plan payments in advance, use net banking or UPI for smaller amounts, and maintain clear communication with developers and sellers. For large transactions, consider rescheduling to after the strike period to avoid last-minute hassles.
