Bankers keep India connected 24×7.
But behind every transaction, target and deadline is a human being, with a family, responsibilities and a life beyond the branch.
A 5-day week was agreed in March 2024, with bankers accepting longer working hours from Monday to Friday.
The demand is reasonable. The commitment is proven. The delay is difficult to justify.
Implement 5-Day Banking now.

India’s Bank employees seek two things rooted in fairness and dignity at work.

The demand for a 5 Day Work Week in banks is not new. It already stands agreed upon in the Bipartite Settlement of March 2024. What remains is its long-pending implementation.
At the same time, the unilateral and discriminatory PLI system must be abolished and replaced with a fair, transparent and inclusive framework for all employees, recognising the collective effort behind every institution’s performance.
Hardworking bank employees are not asking for privilege. They are asking for implementation of an agreement and equality in reward.
A motivated banking workforce strengthens Indian banking and the nation.

@UFBUIndia 5 days week is very much necessary to strengthen the backbone of financial warrior of our Country. Implementation 5 days banking is our legitimate demand as the IBA has already agreed.

Adapting the PLI scheme in accordance with collective agreements symbolizes collaboration necessary for growth in our sector! #5DayWeekandFairPLI#AIBOC@PMOIndia https://t.co/JdWgWVrZ0F

An agreement must be honoured. A reward system must be fair.

The 5 Day Work Week for bank employees was agreed in the Bipartite Settlement of March 2024. Its implementation cannot remain pending indefinitely.
At the same time, a unilateral and discriminatory PLI framework that divides the workforce must give way to a fair, transparent and inclusive system for all employees.
Every achievement of our banks is the outcome of collective effort.
Recognition too must reflect that collective contribution.
We seek no privilege, only implementation of an agreed commitment, equality in reward and dignity at work.

Press Release:
"Trade unions do not oppose work, production, or industry. They intervene when wages are unpaid, safety norms are violated, workers are dismissed arbitrarily, or fatal accidents are concealed or normalised. Demanding compliance with the law cannot be equated with stopping industrial growth. On the contrary, lawlessness and unsafe workplaces ultimately erode productivity, public confidence, and social stability."
