Previous Joint Notes assured Saturdays off; now is the moment to finalize this commitment. #5DayWeekandFairPLI #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC) @aiboc_in]

India’s Bank employees seek two things rooted in fairness and dignity at work.
#5DayWeekandFairPLI
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.

Indian Bankers vs The World

Mid-level POs in India vs entry-level bankers abroad - the gap is shocking:

Entry-Level Bankers Abroad (Monthly Salary in INR)

🇨🇭 Switzerland - ₹5.64 L
🇸🇬 Singapore - ₹4.21 L
🇺🇸 USA - ₹3.75 L
🇬🇧 UK - ₹3.27 L
🇭🇰 Hong Kong - ₹3.27 L
🇨🇦 Canada - ₹3.27 L
🇦🇺 Australia - ₹2.81 L
🇦🇪 UAE - ₹2.81 L
🇳🇿 New Zealand - ₹2.62 L
🇩🇪 Germany - ₹2.34 L

🇮🇳 India → Mid Level PO/Manager
₹50,000 - ₹1.2 L

⚠️ Even mid-level Indian bankers earn less than entry-level bankers abroad!

⏰ Work Hours Reality
Globally → 37-40 hrs/week
India → unofficially 54-60 hrs/week

🔥 Reality Check
Global entry level pay > Indian mid level pay
→ Longer hours,
→ Higher pressure,
→ Slower increments
→ Fewer perks,
→ Tougher work culture

💡 Takeaway
Indian bankers work harder, earn less, and still keep the system running.
The pay gap is massive - it’s time for fair recognition and pay!

Embracing a 5-day banking week allows families to spend quality time together, reinforcing community bonds and social values. #Implement5DayBanking https://t.co/HEQJ2byLWB

[Rupam Roy @rupamsmail]

A better banking experience starts with a sustainable workweek. With acute staff shortages and mounting stress, 5-day banking is about public service and employee well-being, not a privilege.
UFBU has been pressing since 2015; IBA has already recommended it to the Government (MoU 07-12-2023), and the 12th Bipartite/9th Joint Note (08-03-2024) records the Saturday holiday clause, pending approvals/clearances.
Honour what’s on record. Approve all Saturdays off.

Imagine enjoying a long weekend every week! A 5-day banking week allows for better work-life balance for bank employees. #Implement5DayBanking https://t.co/oURj42X1g7

[All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC) @aiboc_in]

A rested workforce serves the public better. With staff shortages and rising stress, 5-day banking is a service-quality issue, not a “perk.” UFBU has pursued this since 2015; IBA has recommended it to the Government (MoU 07-12-2023), and it’s included in the 12th Bipartite/9th Joint Note (08-03-2024), pending clearances.
Let’s finish what’s already agreed.

When the global discussion is about 4 day work week, it is concerning that 5 Day work week is still not implemented in Indian Banks but we are moving towards Viksit Bharat & Digital India. How the bankers can accept
this dilemma anymore? #Implement5DayBanking

When the entire world is moving towards 4 days a week, only we are deprived of the much needed 5 days banking… RBI, state government, insurance sector is having 5 days a week.. It’s high time that bankers should also be given 5 days a week.

With only 5 workdays, banks can ensure more time for personal development, helping employees upskill and innovate. #5DayBankingNow https://t.co/veOCWcNWYi

[All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC) @aiboc_in]

When the world is moving to a 4-day week, and banking is already 24x7 in the digital era, bankers asking for a 5-day week isn’t a luxury. It’s justice.

IBA has agreed. The understanding is signed.
Now the Government must honour its commitment – no more excuses, no more delays.

Respect the Settlement. Deliver it.
