Central Government Salaries, Pensions for September to Be Paid Early on September 25 Ahead of Bank Strike

The September 2026 salary and pension payments for Central Government employees and pensioners are set to be released ahead of schedule on September 25, in view of a three-day nationwide bank strike scheduled from September 28 to September 30.

The advance disbursement will cover salary and wages for Central Government employees, including personnel associated with Defence, Posts and Telecommunications. Pension payments for Central Government pensioners for September will also be made available on September 25.

The decision has been taken to avoid possible disruption to banking transactions during the strike period and to ensure that employees and pensioners receive their regular September payments before the banks are affected.
