A statement issued by the Reserve Bank Employees Association said that acute shortage of Class III employees was affecting operations, particularly currency management. 

As a result of the strike, cheques amounting to Rs 3000 crore (Rs 30 billion) were pending clearance. Inter-bank transaction through RTGS was also brought to a halt, the statement said.
