A significant breakthrough has been achieved through the conciliation efforts of the office of the Regional Labour Commissioner (Central), Raipur, under the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central), Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India, in resolving an industrial dispute concerning the employees and officers of Chhattisgarh Gramin Bank.
The dispute arose following a proposed one-day strike call scheduled for 29 June 2026 by the All India Regional Rural Bank Employees' Association (AIRRBEA), Chhattisgarh Unit, over several long-pending employee and officer-related demands.
Following marathon conciliation proceedings facilitated by the Regional Labour Commissioner, constructive discussions were held between the Bank Management and representatives of the employees' unions and associations.
As a result, a tripartite Memorandum of Settlement was executed under Section 53(3) of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, leading to the withdrawal of the proposed strike.
The settlement is expected to benefit approximately 2,610 employees of Chhattisgarh Gramin Bank and has an estimated financial implication of ₹15 crore.
The timely intervention also averted an estimated one-day financial loss of ₹1.29 crore that could have resulted from the proposed strike.
