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.

#5DayBankingNow
Every 24x7 banking service has a banker behind it and a family waiting at home. We agreed to the 5-day week in March 2024 and accepted longer weekday hours. The regulator, the insurer and the Government all work 5 days.
Our demand is just. The delay is not.

Dear Comrades,
Today, every striking banker sacrifices a day’s salary for a commitment that remains unfulfilled — Five-Day Banking.
Your sacrifice, courage and unity will not be forgotten. History will remember those who stood up, fought together and refused to surrender their rightful demand.
This fight is for our dignity, our families and the future of every banker.
Stand Firm. Stand United. Make the Strike Historic.
✊ One Cause. One Voice. One Banking Fraternity.
#BankStrike #5DayBanking #UFBU
Dear Comrades,
Two rounds of online meetings were held today. There has been no concrete outcome on the Five-Day Work Week. The strike stands. The UFBU Circular Follows.
Now is the time for unity, discipline and total mobilisation.
Every preparatory programme must be carried out meticulously. Every leader must remain fully focused, visible and active on the ground. Members must be kept alert, mobilised and ready for action.
No complacency. No dilution. No looking back.
Our strength will be seen in our preparedness, our unity and our presence on the ground.
Strike Ahead — March On!

FOMO - fear of missing out is shielded by the Fear of being embarrassed. UFBU always wins and the Govt. has relented again. Victory is ours comrade , strike ahead march on. @FinMinIndia@DFS_India
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.

Govt/DFS: enough of “under consideration”. Honour the 8-3-2024 Settlement on #5DayBanking. Bankers are battling understaffing, extreme pressure & mental stress, yet face discrimination vs RBI/LIC/GIC. We will mobilise until justice is delivered. #5DayBankingNow
The interest rate injustice prevailing in the country is a consequence of the acute staff shortage in Public Sector Banks and the misplaced priorities of policymakers.
#MakeTheParliamentAccountable#SavePublicSectorBanks
ICICI Bank’s 5-fold hike in minimum balance is financial apartheid.While PSU banks carry 98% of India’s financial inclusion on their shoulders, private banks like ICICI cherry-pick profits and shun public purpose.We demand rollback and regulatory caps to stop this exclusionary loot.

Adequate recruitment? Banks run on skeleton staff while officers do the work of five.
5-day banking: The world moves forward, but PSB officers still work like it’s the 1980s. Banking professionals or bonded labor?
Residual issues with IBA: Better policies take years to be negotiated/implemented, but new policies against officers come overnight.

Banking is not just a profession—it is a constitutional commitment to financial stability & national growth. Yet, those who ensure economic resilience face endless workweeks, shrinking manpower & policy paralysis that prioritizes numbers over human dignity.
Why should those managing trillions in public funds be denied the very rights enshrined for employees?
📢 The demand is simple: Fair policies, dignified working conditions & security from Assaults, arbitrary performance pressures. A system that thrives on the dedication of its officers must protect their well-being.
⚖️ Justice for bankers is justice for economic integrity. The voice of the banking community shouldn't be ignored.
