The Bank Strike on 27th JAN 2026 isn't our choice, but a consequence of governmental inaction. We demand 5-DAY BANKING. Public inconvenience is regrettable,but it's a direct result of the authorities' stalemate and apathy towards bank employees.Justice delayed is justice denied!
A commitment recorded, awaiting implementation.
During the BPS Settlement, bankers were informed that 5-Day Banking was envisaged as a committed outcome rather than a demand. This understanding formed part of the broader settlement framework, based on mutual trust and good faith.
Over a year has elapsed since then. While the system has adapted and performance levels have been sustained, the implementation of the assurance remains pending.
• The assurance was conveyed through official channels.
• Time has progressed, workloads and expectations have evolved—implementation is yet to follow.
• Bankers have continued to honour the settlement in both letter and spirit.
This issue is not one of convenience, but of process consistency. In an increasingly digital and time-sensitive economy, policy execution gains importance alongside policy intent.
It is therefore hoped that the commitment is taken forward to its logical conclusion.

@nilesh_pawar15 No tax on staff welfare benefits: Officers pay tax on their welfare funds while others enjoys perks. Fair, right? Why this discrimination? #UnitedWeStand – UFBU demands adequate recruitment 2 lakh vacancies must be filled to reduce workload. @nilesh_pawar15@AshishTekale_

Bankers ensure economic stability but suffer overwork, staff shortages & unfair policies. Managing trillions, they deserve fairness & protection. Justice for bankers is justice for the economy. @nilesh_pawar15@aiboc_in@DFS_India@FinMinIndia
Banking is more than a profession—it is a constitutional duty to uphold financial stability and drive national growth. Yet, the very professionals safeguarding economic resilience are burdened with relentless workweeks, dwindling manpower, and policies that prioritize statistics over human dignity.
#UnitedWeStand – UFBU demands safety for staff against outside attacks
Even after working for nearly 9 to 10 hours what we get is NOTHING
We demand Justice
1. 5 Days Banking
2. Adequate Recruitment
3. No TAX on perquisites
Why should we and our family suffer. @nsitharaman@DFS_India@PMOIndia its high time to take an action.
#UnitedWeStand
Due to staff shortages and increased workload, bankers are compelled to extend their hours during weekdays, which adversely impacts their health . Implementation of #5DaysBanking is crucial for the well-being of employees.
Day6 : One tweet Everyday for #5daysbanking
The Bankers are treated as Central Government Employees as per CVC guidelines but, as per income tax act, Bankers are not considered as Central Government Employees for getting the exemptions for perquisites tax. Why such dual treatment to Bankers?
#AbolishPerquisiteTax
All employees are getting benifits but bankers have to pay perquisite Tax. Why not same rules for gLGiv employees, ministers, Judges?
#AbolishPerquisiteTax
Where is equality?
#AbolishPerquisiteTax
Whether @BJP4India doesn't consider bankers as human like other Indian.
The call to abolish perquisite tax resonates deeply with the concerns of the banking fraternity. It is not simply a demand, but a struggle for parity. The unfair taxation on perquisites disproportionately affects the banking fraternity.
Bankers demand to #AbolishPerquisiteTax

@Bankers_We@rupamsmail expected @aiboc_in to lead this from the front.Staff's benefit shouldn't be taxed at all, if it is taxed then it can't be termed as benefit!If bankers are taxed then everyone else working in other sectors enjoying different benefits should also be taxed #TaxTerrorism
@Bankers_We What about the defence sector -Military Hospital,Subsidized Canteen Items,Subsidized Travel Fare,No Toll and much more. Insurance Sector-Redemption Coupons + Many other allowances not limited to what bankers are getting.Ministers -Lifetime Pension,Cops, Vehicles,Accomodation,etc.
