Why must bank staff continue working on Saturdays when IBA agreed to 5-day banking back in 2024? #5DayBankingNow#AIBOC@PMOIndia https://t.co/tyWX3Ii4Ye
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.

The MOU of 7 December 2023 confirmed IBA's recommendation for 5-day banking; it’s time for the Government to act on it. #5DayBankingNow#AIBOC@PMOIndia https://t.co/tyWX3Ii4Ye

@aiboc_in The pressure of work continues to build; it’s time for the Government to deliver on the promise of a 5-day banking week. #5DayBankingNow#AIBOC@PMOIndia
A 5-day week is not a new demand but an overdue promise that must be honored for the well-being of bank employees. #5DayBankingNow#AIBOC@PMOIndia https://t.co/tyWX3Ii4Ye

Day and night, bankers have stood with the nation expanding financial inclusion, taking banking to every corner, implementing Jan Dhan, digital banking, UPI and countless public-purpose initiatives, and keeping the financial system moving through every challenge.
And the results speak for themselves.
The economic advisory council @PMOIndia@narendramodi latest working paper reports that in FY2025-26, Public Sector Banks recorded 93.12% technical efficiency against 86.02% for private banks. Across FY2015-FY2026, PSBs averaged 88.53%, compared with 85.62% for private banks.
Bankers have delivered.
PSBs have delivered.
The nation has been served.
Now, one simple question:
WHEN WILL THE COMMITMENT MADE TO BANKERS BE HONOURED?

@nsitharaman@aiboc_in@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.

Elevating the customer experience is key! A 5-day banking week can lead to enhanced focus during service hours. #Implement5DayBanking https://t.co/BB2AzCKWZ9
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 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.
We demand #5DayBankingNow
