The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) today said there might be some disruption of work, including an impact on the payment and settlement system, on Tuesday due to a call given by the United Forum of Reserve Bank Officers and Employees to its members to apply for mass casual leave.

A meeting between the employees and the RBI top management ended in a stalemate with Governor D Subbarao refusing to either press for an immediate withdrawal of government notification to stop the update of the basic pension or to put it on hold for some time instead of implementing it immediately.
