An agreement must be honoured. A reward system must be fair.
#5DayWeekandFairPLI
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.
@PMOIndia
COMMITMENT MADE? THEN WHERE IS THE IMPLEMENTATION?
➡️ 5-Day Banking: Honour the commitment.
➡️ Unilateral PLI: Put it on hold. Withdraw the discriminatory framework.
➡️ PLI: Dialogue, not diktat. Rework it through meaningful bilateral discussions
➡️ Residual issues: Resolve them. No more indefinite delay.
A commitment demands implementation.
Implementation demands accountability.
📢 ONE VOICE. ONE PLATFORM. ONE UNITED DEMAND.

PSBs TURNED THE STORY AROUND. DID EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION?
From 14.58% GNPA in March 2018 to just 1.93%, Public Sector Banks have delivered a historic turnaround—while achieving record profits with fewer hands.
Yet, 5-Day Banking remains pending, and the revised PLI framework raises serious concerns about employees being left with little or no incentive.
When success is collective, why should recognition be selective?
The people who delivered the turnaround deserve a system that recognises their contribution.
Implement 5-Day Banking. Make PLI fair, inclusive and collective-performance based.

India is 100% digital… but bankers are still working on a 1995 timetable.
UPI runs 24×7. ATMs work 365 days.
Digital payments never sleep —
only bankers are expected to.
🔹 90% routine banking is mobile & UPI, yet humans follow a 6-day “legacy protocol.”
🔹 Cash counters dropped by 60–70%, but pressure didn’t get the memo.
🔹 Technology upgraded instantly; human recharge time is still “under review.”
🔹 A 6-day week fuels burnout and fatigue — clearly not the smartest digital upgrade.
🔹 5-Day Banking saves thousands of crores, but rest is still treated as a premium feature.
The irony is that India built a lightning-fast digital economy but forgot to update the humans running it.
The simple truth is bankers are asking for 5-Day Banking not for comfort, but because humans — unlike machines — need a restart.

Deeply saddened by the unfortunate demise of Shri Bishal Brata Roy, a newly recruited DRO at Bank of Baroda. This tragic incident highlights the importance of continuously reviewing workplace conditions, employee well-being, and support systems in the banking sector.
The time calls for constructive introspection on training, staffing levels, workload management, transfer policies, mental health support, and employee-friendly HR practices.
A strong banking system must be built not only on performance, but also on the well-being, dignity, and professional growth of its workforce.
Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.

जो साथी आज भी यह सोचकर संगठन के साथ खुलकर खड़े नहीं होते कि "प्रबंधन क्या सोचेगा", उन्हें याद रखना चाहिए-प्रबंधन ने कभी आपकी चुप्पी को वफादारी नहींबल्कि कमजोरी समझा है।
चुप रहने वालों को अक्सर वही मिलता है जो बोलने वालों के संघर्ष के बाद बच जाता है।जो घर का नहीं, वो किसी का नहीं
The Government should take note: the demand for a 5-Day Banking Week is so dear to bankers that even at 13,859 ft, they carry that message and proudly unfurl its flag.

Respect is never a one-way street. If someone chooses to show disrespect, they cannot expect respect in return. No one is obligated to be holier than the priest.
As is the evil so is the remedy. Respect earns respect, and contempt invites consequences.
#StopAssaultOnBankers
Today, we commemorate the 57th Anniversary of Bank Nationalisation , a landmark moment that strengthened financial inclusion, expanded access to banking, and contributed significantly to India's socio-economic development.
#BankNationalisationDay
It is the fight of every single banker irrespective of class.
Because discrimination can never build a strong Institution.
It's a fight to protect our Bank,to preserve the dignity & most importantly to safeguard the future of young bankers.
Don't play foul with your own future.
Today’s Black Badge Protest is receiving a resounding response across banking fraternity. All Employees & Officers r wearing Black Badges to register their collective protest against the discriminatory PLI structure & continued delay in #5DayBanking.
Black is our protest ...
What value does an agreed Industrial Understanding hold if its implementation can remain indefinitely pending ??
Will this structure of recognition not divide the workforce??
We don’t want favours. We want fair, transparent & equitable PLI for all.
