Sucheta Ma’am, please consider this perspective as well:

The Central Government has followed a 5-day working week since 1985, almost from the time you began your distinguished journalism career in 1984.

Central & many State Government offices, NABARD, SEBI, stock exchanges and several other service-oriented institutions already function on a 5-day week. Banking employees are only seeking the same reasonable work-life balance.

Customer convenience need not suffer. Even today, some banks operate Sunday-working branches with staggered weekly offs. The same principle can easily provide selected Saturday-working branches, with their staff getting an alternative weekly off, say on Monday. Solutions for genuine customer requirements are entirely possible.

More importantly, banking today is available 24×7 through ATMs, UPI, mobile banking, internet banking, NEFT/RTGS and other digital channels. But behind this round-the-clock banking are human beings who increasingly find there is virtually no disconnect from work. Bank employees are facing growing workloads, constant connectivity and burnout. A proper weekend is not merely about an additional holiday, it is about mental well-being and returning to work more productive and efficient.

Bankers ensure 24×7 banking for the country. They too deserve a genuine weekend, like employees of other major institutions.

@rupamsmail More than two years after IBA's agreement, a decision on 5-day banking is still postponed; it's unacceptable. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@aiboc_in Bank employees are united in their demand; the implementation of the 5-day week is a matter of honouring previous commitments. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@rupamsmail We stand united for the 5-day banking commitment; it’s time for the Government to honor it without further delays. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@aiboc_in With the ongoing pressure and staff shortages in banks, the implementation of the 5-day week has never been more critical. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@rupamsmail The current reality shows that it's crucial to improve bank employee welfare by implementing the 5-day week as agreed. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@aiboc_in An extra 40 minutes a day is fair for a 5-day week; let’s implement this agreement and give bank staff their deserved time off. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@rupamsmail An agreed commitment requires action; implement the 5-day banking without delay for the sake of bank employees' welfare. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@aiboc_in Ending the wait for 5-day banking is essential; the government must uphold its commitments to bank employees without further delay. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@rupamsmail Bank staff work under significant pressure; implementing the agreed 5-day week would alleviate some of this burden. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@aiboc_in The 5-day week was agreed upon, yet the approval has lingered; we deserve clarity and action now. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@rupamsmail The unanimous agreement between IBA and the unions shows there’s no reason to delay implementing the 5-day week. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@rupamsmail Employees of RBI and LIC enjoy the benefits of a 5-day week already; bank staff deserve the same treatment without delay. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@aiboc_in Every working Saturday is a sacrifice for bank staff; it is time for the Government to approve the 5-day week we have earned. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@rupamsmail We are standing firm in our quest for 5-day banking; the time for implementation is now, not later. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@aiboc_in The agreed 5-day week is not just for convenience; it's a fundamental right that needs to be enforced immediately for employees. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@rupamsmail The commitment made in March 2024 must be transformed into reality for the dedicated staff working tirelessly in banks. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@aiboc_in The MOU from December 2023 confirms that IBA's recommendation for 5-day banking went to the Government; we need action now! #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@aiboc_in The MOU of 7 December 2023 confirmed that the recommendation for 5-day banking was sent to the Government; we expect action. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[amarnathreddy rathna @AnrRathna]

@rupamsmail A workload already stretched takes its toll; therefore, 5-day banking is no longer an option but a necessity. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia
