#5DayBankingNow
As the modern workforce moves toward increased flexibility and digital banking ensures round-the-clock service, the transition to a 5-day workweek for bank employees is a necessary step toward equity. With the IBA’s agreement already secured and the understanding signed, we call upon the Government to finalise the process without further delay. We expect the terms of the settlement to be upheld and implemented immediately.
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 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.
