No, this is not a Star Wars sequel. It is only that the guy who counts your cash (after licking his fingers, usually) at a window near you, will no longer do so. Today and tomorrow, there will be no such delights available. Senior citizens who like to go to the bank to chat with the cashier (because all the customers now go to the ATM) will be lonely, and may go into a depression.
The other major community that will face the brunt is the dons who use these channels to transfer their considerable earnings across landmasses (read countries, or states) so as to benefit the rest of humanity. But don't expect this segment to sit and twiddle their thumbs. They have already alerted the hawala operators to do extra duty during this period. This hawala business, incidentally, seems unique to India, and could be patented, if so.
But strikes in general, as I have earlier commented elsewhere, are good for the nation's health-and yours. They also reduce pollution, increase the income of multiplexes (Ek Tha Tiger may make a few more crores). I would recommend that all European banks learn from ours and go on strike, to kickstart their economies. After all, what's the fun in working if you are only staring down the barrel of an impending crisis? At least boost the tourism industry, take a holiday!

I remember a Dena bank which should rebrand as Sona (asleep) baink - this could also add to Ajit's portfolio of jokes
